ATLANTA (AP) - Angel McCoughtry scored all 12 of her points in the second half and the Atlanta Dream used another fourth-quarter surge Sunday to rally for a 69-64 win over the Connecticut Sun and advance to the Eastern Conference finals for the second consecutive season.

Sancho Lyttle, Lindsey Harding and Erika de Souza also scored 12 points each as Atlanta finished off the sweep after winning Game 1 at Connecticut on Friday night. De Souza also grabbed 12 rebounds and McCoughtry had nine.

Asjha Jones scored 15 points to lead the Sun, and Tina Charles added 13 and a franchise playoff-record 17 rebounds.

Atlanta, which has won nine of its last 10 overall, will next face Indiana or New York. The deciding Game 3 of that series is Monday night.
