    Stars 73, Dream 69

    Kayla McBride scored 11 of her 28 points in the fourth quarter, including nine straight in the final 4:13, to lead San Antonio to a victory over Atlanta on Saturday night.

    McBride hit a 3-pointer to break a 63-all tie with 4:13 left, made a pair of free throws at the 1:21 mark for a 70-67 lead and made two more from the line with 19.9 seconds remaining to make it 72-69.

    After Angel McCoughtry's 3-pointer barely grazed the rim for Atlanta, Alex Montgomery grabbed the rebound and iced the game with 2.4 seconds left by making one of two free throws.

    Dearica Hamby scored the first four points of the game for San Antonio and McBride followed with a 3 as the Stars (3-11) jumped to a 7-0 lead. McCoughtry, who had 17 of her 23 points in the first half, quickly rallied the Dream (8-6) and neither team led by double figures.

    Hamby finished with 14 points, and Layshia Clarendon had 13 for Atlanta.

    Fever 92, Wings 87

    Erlana Larkins scored a career-high 19 points and Indiana held to beat Dallas, snapping the Wings' winning streak at four games.

    Briann January made two free throws to cap the scoring with 7.1 seconds left for the Fever (6-9), ranked No. 8 in the AP WNBA power poll.

    The Fever had a 19-9 start the third quarter that stretched their four-point halftime lead to 71-57. The sixth-ranked Wings (7-8) answered with a 10-2 run to end the quarter within six and rallied again late in the fourth quarter when Aerial Powers cut it to 90-87, finishing a contested layup off the glass with 52 seconds to go.

    January, Tamika Catchings and Erica Wheeler added 15 points each for Indiana. Karima Christmas led the Wings with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Odyssey Sims had 18 points, and Glory Johnson 15.
