New York LibertyvsAtlanta Dream
NY 104/ATL 90
Things to say
New York Liberty beat the Atlanta Dream 104-90 on the road.
01
opener
Liberty went into Atlanta and just handled business, 104-90. Dream hung around but New York pulled away late. Stewie did Stewie things.
02
key player
Stewart with 19 and 11, plus 5 dimes — quiet double-double but she was running the whole show.
03
hot take
Angel Reese dropped 25 and 9 in a loss and somehow it still feels like Atlanta needs more from her.
04
deep cut
Jordin Canada had 7 assists and you could tell she was the one keeping the Dream offense from totally falling apart in the paint.
05
exit
Anyway, Liberty look like Liberty again — curious what they do next time out.
The recap
Liberty rolled into Atlanta and handed the Dream a 104-90 L, never really letting them hang around. Stewie was an absolute problem all night with 19 and 11 plus 5 dimes, just doing a little of everything to keep New York humming.
Angel Reese gave Atlanta everything she had with 25 and 9 in the paint, but she didn't get nearly enough help and the Dream couldn't buy a bucket when they needed one. Once New York pulled away, that was the dagger.
