Everything in Atlanta’s offense still revolved around McCoughtry despite her Olympic workload and missed games. League coverage regularly described her as the Dream’s shot creator and late-clock option, while opponents continued to load extra defenders toward her driving lanes because she remained the player most capable of breaking games open individually.
