Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream are set to host the New York Liberty for Game 2 on Wednesday. They are leading their second-round series 1-0 following a 92-82 win on Sunday at State Farm Arena. The team also received good news on Tuesday from ESPN.
Jordin Canada spearheaded Atlanta’s charge in with a team-high 25 points on 9-of-14 shooting. She added four assists, five steals and four three-pointers. Reese backed her with 17 points, seven rebounds, four steals and three blocks, making WNBA history again. The three-time All-Star’s seven combined steals and blocks is the most for any player in her semifinals debut. Rhyne Howard also had a solid performance, finishing with 16 points, eight rebounds and eight assists.
Meanwhile, Sabrina Ionescu led the Liberty with her game-high 27 points, along with four rebounds and three three-pointers. Breanna Stewart contributed 19 points and three assists, and Jonquel Jones supplied 12 points and 11 rebounds. However, no other New York player scored in double digits.

New York has proven that it has what it takes to upset favored opponents. It also made league history becoming the first No. 8 team to eliminate a No. 1-seeded squad when they swept the Minnesota Lynx. However, it’s easier said than done in the second round as Reese is playing arguably her best basketball this season and her teammates consistently perform. They are also one of the best home teams this year, and have homecourt advantage in the semifinals.
