Atlanta Dream lead New York Liberty 2-0 in WNBA semifinals

The Atlanta Dream have taken a 2-0 lead in their best-of-five WNBA semifinal series against the New York Liberty following a 101-98 overtime victory in Game 2.

In the second game, Angel Reese scored a postseason career high of 23 points, including crucial free throws in the final seconds of overtime to secure the win. Jordin Canada also contributed 23 points and eight assists. Despite a dominant 35-point performance from Breanna Stewart and 20 points from Marine Fauthoux, the Liberty were unable to overcome Atlanta's depth. The game was marked by late-game confusion regarding whether New York had a reset timeout remaining, a situation that left players and commentators frustrated.

The Dream played without leading scorer Allisha Gray, who is sidelined with a hand injury. Atlanta now moves one win away from the WNBA Finals, while the Liberty must win their upcoming games to stay in the series.
