Liberty vs. Dream game 3 preview: Can NY prevent the sweep?

The New York Liberty face an uphill battle after dropping the first two games of their WNBA playoff series against the Atlanta Dream, now needing an improbable comeback to avoid a sweep. Game 3 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Friday (7:30 PM EST) will be a must-win for New York, as they become the first team in league history to overcome a 2-0 deficit in a best-of-five series.

The Liberty’s struggles with turnovers—16 in Game 2 alone—have been a key factor, with the Dream capitalizing on 28 points from those mistakes. Officiating controversies, including a disputed timeout call involving Breanna Stewart, added to the chaos, though the team insists it wasn’t the deciding factor in their loss.

With key players like Brionna Jones (Dream) sidelined and Allisha Gray questionable, the Liberty must tighten their execution to keep the series alive.
