Atlanta Dream beat the New York Liberty 95-84, close in on a top-4 WNBA seed
Jordin Canada scored 19 points and Angel Reese added 18 points and 10 rebounds as the Atlanta Dream edged the New York Liberty 95-84 on Monday night. DeWanna Bonner contributed 17 points, while Rhyne Howard notched 16 points. The Dream (29-14) edged closer to securing a top-4 seed in the WNBA playoffs. A victory against New York on Wednesday or a loss by Indiana in its final two games would grant the Dream home-court advantage in the postseason.
The Liberty (26-17) ended their three-game winning streak and will now be playing on the road in the opening round. Atlanta took an early lead and extended it to 73-62 after three quarters, thanks to Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard. The Liberty, led by Breanna Stewart's 27 points and 14 rebounds, fell short despite a strong effort. The Dream now await a crucial game on Wednesday to clinch their postseason seeding.
