The Atlanta Dream secured home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs after blowing out the New York Liberty , 83-65, at Barclays Center on Wednesday. The Dream finished the regular season with a 30-14 record to claim the No.

That is why Atlanta cannot afford to lose Reese, who was forced to exit the game with four seconds left in the first half after getting hit in the face by an inadvertent elbow from Sabrina Ionescu, who was whistled for a flagrant foul. Sabrina Ionescu is assessed a Flagrant 1 after this inadvertent elbow on Angel Reese.
