Angel McCoughtry, coming off a two-game team suspension, scored 18 of her 24 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Atlanta Dream to an 87-80 victory over the Connecticut Sun on Sunday.
The WNBA's leading scorer made seven of eight shots as the Dream (14-13) pulled away from a third-quarter tie. Sancho Lyttle and Erika DeSouza each had double-doubles, with Lyttle getting 15 points and 13 rebounds and DeSouza contribution 14 and 12.
Kara Lawson had 16 points and Danielle McCray scored a season-high 15 — 13 in the final quarter — for the Sun (19-7). Tina Charles had 11 points and 11 rebounds.
McCoughtry was suspended for a violation of unspecified team policy by Fred Williams on Monday.
