Game Recap
Atlanta outlasted New York 92-82, a ten-point victory that came down to a second-half surge neither team could fully match. The combined 174 points cleared the market total of 172.5 by 1.5, cashing DAGGER's pregame OVER call as a high-scoring fourth quarter pushed the night into overtime scoring territory.
The first half stayed competitive at 77 combined points. Atlanta's defense held the Liberty to just 40 first-half points across a 24-point opening quarter and quiet 16-point second frame, while the Dream posted 37 to take a slim edge into halftime. Everything shifted after intermission. The third quarter alone generated 47 combined points—the game's second-highest-scoring frame—as both offenses found rhythm. Atlanta's 32-point third quarter gave them breathing room, and a final-quarter shootout (50 combined points) sealed the outcome. New York's Sabrina Ionescu led the Liberty with 27 points, while Breanna Stewart added 19 and Jonquel Jones chipped in 12 rebounds. For Atlanta, Jordin Canada's 25 points and DeWanna Bonner's 23 provided the offensive punch, with Bonner grabbing 9 rebounds. Angel Reese contributed 17 points and 7 boards off the bench. This marked the third meeting between the teams this season; the previous two totals (148 and 179) had bracketed expectations, and this result landed squarely in between.
