Jordin Canada scored 19 points as the Atlanta Dream defeated the New York Liberty 95-84 in a WNBA game on Monday night. The victory moved the Dream closer to securing a top-four seed for the playoffs with a record of 29-14, while the Liberty (26-17) had their three-game winning streak broken and will likely play away in the first round due to this loss. Key contributors included Angel Reese’s double-double performance and Allisha Gray's strong third quarter comeback after a scoreless first half.

Story summary
The New York Liberty lost 95-84 to the Atlanta Dream in a crucial game on Monday night, ending their chances of securing home-court advantage for the playoffs and leaving them likely to start on the road. The loss came after playing back-to-back games following a match in Toronto, leading to fatigue that affected performance. Breanna Stewart recorded 27 points and 14 rebounds but was visibly frustrated by a no-call from officials late in the game, resulting in her first technical foul since 2017. With just two regular-season games remaining, including another against Atlanta on Wednesday, the Liberty’s playoff scenario remains uncertain as they could finish anywhere between fifth and eighth place depending on other results around the league.
