WNBA Semifinals Tonight: Who Can Clinch A Finals Berth?

Tonight’s WNBA Semifinals feature two best-of-five series hanging in the balance, with both teams in each matchup already trailing 2-0. The Atlanta Dream host the New York Liberty at Barclays Center, seeking to avoid becoming the first team in league history to lose a series after falling behind early.

Atlanta dominated the Liberty in their two regular-season meetings, both decided in overtime, and has led the WNBA in steals this season, often capitalizing on turnovers with high-scoring second chances. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Aces face elimination against the Golden State Valkyries, a second-year expansion team that has already swept Las Vegas three times this season.

The Aces, who averaged 33.4 rebounds per game in the regular season alongside MVP A’ja Wilson, have struggled offensively and with rebounding in this series, while star guard Jackie Young is averaging just 12.5 points per game. Both teams must find a way to reset their struggles—New York by improving ball movement and limiting turnovers, Las Vegas by reclaiming their dominant play—if they hope to force a Game 4.
