Sky beat Dream 75-71

ATLANTA (AP) -- Stefanie Dolson tied her career high with 23 points, on 10-of 13 shooting, grabbed eight rebounds and blocked five shots and the Chicago Sky beat the Atlanta Dream 75-71 on Sunday.

Dolson's bank shot put the Sky up four with three minutes to go and Atlanta's Layshia Clarendon answered with a layup before Pondexter hit two free throws to make it 71-65 with 2:22 left.
