WNBA Game Preview: Dallas Wings vs. Atlanta Dream – July 30, 2025

Arlington, TX (July 30, 2025) – The Dallas Wings will face off against the Atlanta Dream on Wednesday night in what will be their third game in just four days. The matchup at College Park Center is scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m. CT, with local coverage in the Dallas-Fort Worth area available on KFAA29. Ron Thulin and Naismith Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman will call the action, while former Wings guard Tiffany Bias-Patmon provides sideline reports.

Recent Performance: Wings Ride High on Historic Ogunbowale Performance

The Wings (8-19) are riding a wave of momentum after a 92-82 victory over the reigning WNBA Champions, the New York Liberty. Arike Ogunbowale delivered a historic performance, tying the franchise record for assists in a game with 14, all while scoring 20 points and committing only one turnover. This performance not only marked Ogunbowale’s fifth career points-assists double-double but also secured Dallas’ first win over New York since the 2023 season. Ogunbowale’s playmaking ability was on full display, as she became the first player this season to achieve 20+ points and 10+ assists with just one turnover—a feat that demonstrates her growing command of the floor.

Dream Come into Dallas After a Solid Win Over Lynx

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Dream (15-10) are also entering the matchup after a solid 90-86 win against the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday. The Dream will be playing tonight at home against the Golden State Valkyries, and while the Wings’ primary focus will be on their own performance, Dallas will surely be keeping an eye on Atlanta’s playmakers, including superstar Tiffany Hayes, who has been a consistent force for the Dream.

The two teams have already met twice this season, each team claiming victory on their home court. The most recent matchup came on June 24, when the Wings secured a 68-55 win in Arlington. In that game, Ogunbowale led the charge with 21 points, while the Dallas defense stepped up to stifle Atlanta’s offense. Both teams will enter this game looking for the upper hand in this season’s series, with Dallas aiming to build on their momentum after a major victory over the Liberty.

What to Expect from Dallas: Looking for Consistency

With the Wings playing their third game in four days, consistency will be key. Their offense, spearheaded by Ogunbowale, will need to remain sharp and efficient, but other players like Maddy Siegrist and Marina Mabrey must continue to contribute offensively. Maddy Siegrist, who has been a crucial addition to the roster, will need to stay aggressive in the paint, while Mabrey’s outside shooting can help stretch the floor and create space for the guards to operate.

Defensively, Dallas will need to limit Atlanta’s fast breaks and guard the perimeter, where the Dream have shown they can hit from deep. In their previous matchup, Dallas forced Atlanta into tough shots, and replicating that defensive intensity will be critical to their success.

What to Expect from Atlanta: A Balanced Attack

Atlanta enters this game with a well-rounded attack, led by Hayes and rookie standout, Aari McDonald. Both have the ability to take over games, and if Dallas is not careful, their scoring efficiency could become a problem. The Dream also have a solid presence in the post with Cheyenne Parker, who can dominate the glass and finish inside. Dallas will need to limit her second-chance opportunities and keep her off the offensive boards.

Looking Ahead: Wrapping Up a Challenging Stretch

Wednesday’s game against Atlanta will be the last of a tough stretch for the Wings, who will wrap up four games in six days. Following this game, they will host the Indiana Fever at American Airlines Center on Friday night, a game that will be televised nationally on ION. For now, though, the focus is squarely on the Dream, and the Wings will look to take advantage of their home-court advantage to continue their recent form.
