ATLANTA (AP) - Tiffany Hayes scored 25 points and Brittney Sykes added a career-best 20 to lead the Atlanta Dream to an 88-75 win over the San Antonio Stars on Tuesday.

Atlanta trailed by 10 after one quarter before rallying behind Hayes. She had 12 of her points in the second quarter as the Dream (9-10) cut its deficit to 39-37 at the half.

Sykes, who has scored in double figures in nine straight games, took over in the second half as the Dream pulled away from the Stars (2-18).

Isabelle Harrison scored 22 points to lead San Antonio despite rolling her ankle in the first half. San Antonio was missing Kayla McBride, who injured her ankle in the team's last game.

The Dream head to Washington to play the Mystics in their final game before the All-Star break.
