Dream close in on a top-4 seed with 95-84 win over Liberty
Atlanta Dream edged out New York Liberty 95-84 on Monday night, advancing their chances of securing a top-four seed in the WNBA playoffs. Jordin Canada led the Dream with 19 points, while Angel Reese contributed 18 points and 10 rebounds. DeWanna Bonner added 17 points, and Rhyne Howard contributed 16 points for the Dream. The Dream, currently 29-14, moved closer to the coveted playoff spot after a win against New York.
A win against New York on Wednesday or a loss by Indiana in its final two games would secure home court advantage for the Dream in the postseason. New York, which saw its three-game winning streak end, will now face a challenging road in the opening round. The Liberty, now 26-17, had their regular season performance led by Breanna Stewart's 27 points and 14 rebounds, and Jonquel Jones' 18 points and 12 rebounds.
