ATLANTA — Becky Hammon had 25 points and a season-high nine assists, Ann Wauters added 18 points and 14 rebounds, and San Antonio beat winless Atlanta 81-66 Wednesday night in the WNBA.

The Silver Stars (7-4) won consecutive road games for the first time since last season.

Stacey Lovelace scored 18 for the Dream (0-11), which is two losses from becoming the second team in WNBA history to open a season with 13 straight losses. The Detroit Shock started the 2003 season with a 0-13 record.

"We have to make layups and not turn the ball over late in games," Atlanta coach Marynell Meadors said. "When you miss layups, it breaks your back."
