During this period, Gray averaged 26.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game. Her shooting efficiency was notable with 65.2% from the field and 62.5% from three-point range.
Gray’s performance was crucial in securing consecutive road victories for the Dream.

In a subsequent game against the Seattle Storm, she achieved a career-high of 28 points to help Atlanta overcome a significant deficit.
