SAN ANTONIO (AP) Kayla McBride scored 11 of her 28 points in the fourth quarter, including nine straight in the final 4:13, to lead the San Antonio Stars to a 73-69 victory over the Atlanta Dream on Saturday night.

McBride hit a 3-pointer to break a 63-all tie with 4:13 left, made a pair of free throws at the 1:21 mark for a 70-67 lead and made two more from the line with 19.9 seconds remaining to make it 72-69.
