Atlanta Dream 2022 season: 14–22, scoring 78.5 points per game and allowing 81.5 (-3 average margin) across 36 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Dream finished 14–22, 10th in the league standings, with a -3.4 net rating that ranked 9th of 12. Defense was the identity — 5th in defensive rating (99.8 per 100) against a 11th-ranked offense (96.4). Nothing jumped off the page as a strength, and the weak spots were shooting efficiency (47.5% eFG, 11th) and turnovers (19.8 a game, 2nd-most in the league). Scoring was spread around — Rhyne Howard led at 16.2 a game, but no one accounted for more than 20% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Aari McDonald as the one they can least afford to lose — +7.9 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 27-point rout of the Mercury on May 29. The lows: a 4-game losing streak (Jun 7–Jun 17) and a 25-point loss to the Sun on Jul 15. They went 4–15 against teams at .500 or better, and faded late, 2–8 over the last 10. Bottom line: a middle-of-the-pack team held back by its shot quality — good enough to beat anyone on a given night, not consistent enough to be feared.
