The 2024 Atlanta Dream season was the 17th season for the Atlanta Dream of the Women's National Basketball Association, and their third season under head coach Tanisha Wright.
The season tipped off on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, against the Los Angeles Sparks in Los Angeles. The Dream started the season on an up-and-down run as they went 2âÂÂ2 in their first four games. They defeated Washington and Las Vegas to end May 4âÂÂ2. Their winning streak did not extend into June as they lost four of their first five games in the month, with the lone win coming in Chicago. They defeated Los Angeles again and Connecticut as the only other two wins in the month to finish 3âÂÂ8 in June. Seven of the eight losses in the month came by double digits. Rhyne Howard injured her ankle on June 21 and missed nine games. The Dream would only win one game during her absence, and went 0âÂÂ7 in July prior to the Olympic Break. The losing streak featured a three point loss in Dallas as the closest game. The Dream returned healthier from the Olympic Break and won the first three games in August. However, they lost the next four games in August, with three of those losses coming by five points or less. They finished August 3âÂÂ4 and in the hunt for the eighth and final playoff spot. The Dream won two of the first three games in September, including an overtime win against Dallas. They would go on to lose their next three games, including another overtime game against Indiana, and a three point loss to playoff rivals Washington. However, they followed that with three straight wins, including a win against Washington and their other playoff rival Chicago. The final game of the season was a win at New York, where the Dream clinched the eighth seed. They finished the regular season 15âÂÂ25.
The Dream faced the Liberty in the first versus eighth seed First Round playoff series. The Dream lost the best-of-three series two games to zero. They lost game one by fourteen points and game two by nine points to end their season. It was the second straight year the Dream were swept two games to zero in the First Round. After the season, the Dream and Head Coach Tanisha Wright parted ways.
