She is averaging 20.8 points per game. McCoughtry wound up scoring 11 points on the Sky but accumulated most of them in garbage time. For the Sky, center Sylvia Fowles led four players in double-figures with19 points. Fowles is averaging 19.3 points per game-Since losing those back-to-back games to Seattle and the Sky, the Dream has won 2 of its last three. The Sky has been up and down. The Dream win was the Sky's third in a four-game winning streak. But that streak ended with a loss to New York one week ago. Then, Washington, which shot a blistering 62 percent from the field, extended the Sky's losing streak to two games.Next: Sky at Washington Mystics, 6 p.m. Saturday
