Storylines
Dream hold off Liberty, 101–98. Atlanta handed New York a gut-punch road loss, winning by three in what looked like a comfortable Liberty position heading into the fourth. The Dream's offense found enough late to seal it. New York will need to regroup quickly as the postseason picture tightens.
Valkyries squeeze past Aces, 83–81. Golden State pulled off another tight one at home, turning away Las Vegas by two. The Valkyries continue to prove they can close games against elite competition. For the Aces, it's a second straight narrow loss that raises real questions about their late-game execution.
