The Atlanta Dream are ONE win away from the WNBA Finals after a wild 101–98 overtime victory over the New York Liberty — but the ending came with plenty of controversy.

Breanna Stewart dropped 35 points, but Atlanta rallied behind Angel Reese, Jordin Canada and a huge late-game play from Naz Hillmon to take a commanding 2–0 series lead. After the game, Stewart questioned whether the Liberty had a reset timeout remaining, while officials provided their explanation of the situation.

Meanwhile, the Golden State Valkyries are also up 2–0 after stunning the defending champion Las Vegas Aces 83–81. Veronica Burton hit the clutch three, A'ja Wilson led a furious Vegas comeback, and Golden State once again showed off the depth that has carried them this far.

Plus, we look ahead to the new faces joining Unrivaled, including Kiki Rice, Aneesah Morrow and Sydney Taylor, while several familiar stars depart.

The WNBA semifinals are already feeling the impact of injuries. How will Atlanta and Las Vegas adjust, and which players need to step up with the stakes at their highest?

Then, we look ahead to what’s next for the Dallas Wings after a dramatic turnaround season. Paige Bueckers established herself as one of the league’s best, Jessica Shepard emerged as a major free-agent success story, and Azzi Fudd showed plenty of promise before her season-ending knee procedure.

The Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries both made major statements in WNBA semifinals Game 1 — and defense was the story.

The Dream defeated the New York Liberty 92-82 behind Jordin Canada’s 25 points and 5 steals, DeWanna Bonner’s 23 points and 9 rebounds, and a relentless defensive effort that forced 14 turnovers and turned them into 32 points. Sabrina Ionescu led New York with 27 points, but the Liberty struggled to handle Atlanta’s pressure.

Then, the Golden State Valkyries pulled off the bigger upset, beating the Las Vegas Aces 71-60. Gabby Williams delivered a sensational 25-point, 11-rebound, 5-assist performance, while Golden State dominated the glass with a franchise-record 52 rebounds. Kiah Stokes added 14 rebounds and played a huge role in disrupting A’ja Wilson.

Plus, we look ahead to Unrivaled’s expansion, with new cities including Boston, Los Angeles, Detroit, San Francisco, New York, Minneapolis, Houston and Philadelphia.

The WNBA playoffs have been turned upside down.

The New York Liberty made WNBA history by becoming the first No. 8 seed to eliminate a No. 1 seed, sweeping the Minnesota Lynx and sending the league's top seed home. Jonquel Jones, Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu led New York, while Minnesota's Olivia Miles was held to just 5 points.

Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever kept their season alive with a huge Game 2 win over the Las Vegas Aces. Clark finished with 27 points, 15 assists and 7 rebounds, becoming the first player in WNBA history to record a 25+ point, 15-assist game. Now Indiana and Las Vegas head to a winner-take-all Game 3.

Plus, we preview tonight's playoff action as the Atlanta Dream look to eliminate the Washington Mystics and the Golden State Valkyries try to close out the Dallas Wings.
