What A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart must do that has never happened before to reach the WNBA Finals

The Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries have seized commanding 2-0 leads in their respective best-of-five WNBA semifinal series. Angel Reese powered Atlanta to a 101-98 overtime victory with 23 points and seven rebounds, while teammate Jordin Canada added 23 points and eight assists.

Meanwhile, Golden State edged the Las Vegas Aces 83-81, bolstered by Tiffany Hayes contributing 21 points in just 17 minutes of play. Despite Breanna Stewart scoring 35 points for New York, the Liberty remain winless in the series, with Stewart expressing frustration over a disputed timeout call.

A'ja Wilson has recorded 24 points in both losses for the Aces, who now face a difficult path forward. No team in league history has ever recovered from a 2-0 deficit to win a best-of-five semifinal series, though both the Liberty and Aces will host the upcoming third and fourth games.
