Atlanta Dream guard Tiffany Hayes was named WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week for her performance from July 16-22.
The recognition, Hayes’ second of the season, resulted from the 5-foot-10 guard averaging 18 points— second in the Eastern Conference— 4.7 rebounds and three assists over the past week.
Hayes’ shining moment of last week was Tuesday when she hit a game-winning, buzzer-beater to defeat the Connecticut Sun, 86-83. Hayes scored 18 total points in the win over the Suns, then went on to score 20 against the New York Liberty and 16 in Sunday’s win over the Seattle Storm.
The Dream went 3-0 over the past week, extending the team's win streak to a franchise-record seven games.
Along with Hayes, Dallas Wings center Liz Cambage was named Western Conference Player of the Week.
