(AP) -- The Atlanta Dream will face a stiff test when they take the court for the first regular-season game in franchise history.
The Dream start play on the road Saturday against the Connecticut Sun, who feature a much different look from the team that was ousted in last season's Eastern Conference semifinals.
Atlanta is the WNBA's first expansion team since Chicago went 5-29 two years ago, but seems to have the right mix of rising stars and veteran savvy to be successful early on.
