Two struggling teams will face off Friday night when the Atlanta Dream visit the Indiana Fever in Indianapolis.
The Dream are 0-2 after losing 85-77 at home Wednesday to the Chicago Sky, who were without star Candace Parker because of an ankle injury.
The Fever are 0-3 following an 88-67 lossat the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday in which Indiana s leading scorer, Danielle Robinson, scored only 12 points. I would much rather have three days to look at the film and work on some things, Indiana coach Marianne Stanley said of the quick turnaround to playing the Dream. Our challenge right now is every time we get on the basketball floor, whether it s practice or a game, is to get better.
