Dream’s Jordin Canada pulls up from Valkyries logo for bonkers WNBA Finals buzzer-beater

The Atlanta Dream bounced back from a shaky Game 1 loss to tie the WNBA Finals at 1-1 with a dominant second-quarter performance in Game 2. Jordin Canada delivered a clutch moment midway through the third quarter, draining a half-court buzzer-beater from the logo to extend the Dream’s lead to 14 points heading into the final frame.

Though Canada struggled with efficiency overall (3 of 13 shooting for 12 points), her timely shot provided a spark after a Game 1 where she was held to just eight points in 38 minutes by the Golden State Valkyries’ defense. Angel Reese, the Dream’s star center, also stepped up with 15 points and seven rebounds in the first half, nearly doubling her Game 1 output and leading Atlanta’s offensive charge.

The backcourt duo of Canada and Allisha Gray—returning from injury—offered critical support, though Gray remained rusty at 5 of 19 shooting. With the series now tied, the Dream will need Canada to regain her scoring consistency and Reese to maintain her offensive intensity to close out the championship.
