Atlanta Dream battles New York Liberty in Game 2 of semifinals

The Atlanta Dream aim to extend their playoff dominance with a 2-0 series lead in Game 2 of the WNBA semifinals against the New York Liberty, following their decisive victory in Game 1. The team’s momentum was bolstered by a standout third-quarter performance and a strong defensive effort, but they’ll face a key challenge without leading scorer Allisha Gray, who exited Game 1 with a hand injury and is now sidelined for at least this matchup.

DeWanna Bonner, who contributed 23 points off the bench in the opener, is expected to start in Gray’s place, adding depth to Atlanta’s lineup as they look to maintain their undefeated playoff record. Beyond the court, the Dream announced a significant move: the franchise will return to State Farm Arena for the 2027 season, marking a homecoming after years at Gateway Center Arena.

The series resumes Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET, with the Dream seeking to solidify their advantage in front of their home crowd.
