The Atlanta Dream shock the New York Liberty in Game 1, while the Golden State Valkyries outwork the Las Vegas Aces in a huge WNBA Playoffs upset.
Tacarra and Courtney break down Atlanta’s physical defense, Angel Reese’s impact, DeWanna Bonner’s huge performance off the bench, and the Liberty’s 21 turnovers. They also discuss how the Dream took control with a dominant third quarter and whether New York can respond in Game 2.
Then, the conversation shifts to Golden State’s stunning rebounding advantage over Las Vegas. The Valkyries dominated the glass 52–25, including 17 offensive rebounds, as Gabby Williams and Kayla Thornton helped set the tone with their effort and physicality.
