Atlanta Dream secures victory over Dallas Wings thanks to Hilton

  • Hilton set a career record, scoring 21 points.
  • Dallas Wings failed to maintain a lead in the closing minutes of the match.
  • Greener was ejected from the game, which impacted the result.

On July 31, 2025, the Atlanta Dream defeated the Dallas Wings with a score of 88-85 in an away game held in Arlington, Texas. Hilton, who became the hero of the match, scored a game-winning three-pointer with 2.6 seconds remaining and achieved her career record, scoring 21 points, 12 of which were scored in the fourth quarter.

Other Atlanta players, such as Alisha Gray, who scored 15 points, Brionna Jones with 14 points, and Maya Caldwell with 13 points, also contributed to the victory. Dallas, despite 21 points from Paige Bueckers, could not sustain a lead in the closing minutes of the match. Bueckers scored nine points in the last five minutes of the game, but it was not enough for the win.

The game was intense, and the Wings team, which recently defeated the New York Liberty, could not realize their advantage. After Greener's ejection due to technical fouls, the Dream managed to capitalize on the situation.

In post-game comments, Dallas coach Kris Koklanes pointed out problems with communication on defense, which led to fouls. The Wings team could not finish the match strong, despite having all the chances for a win.
