Bloom Energy, power America relies on.
Mike GreenbergHOST
All right, tomorrow night's ESPN-NHL doubleheader, 7.30 Eastern, the Battle of New York, Rangers-Islanders.
Mike GreenbergHOST
And then at 10, the Panthers will visit the Kings.
Mike GreenbergHOST
That's tomorrow.
12 MINS LATER
Mike GreenbergHOST
Minus 150.
Mike GreenbergHOST

Mike GreenbergHOST
Eastern Yamamoto facing Chris Sale.
Mike GreenbergHOST
All right, coming up, how about that cowboy? CD had an unbelievable month yesterday.
ColinHOST
They'd faced off in two different playoff series before this year.
ColinHOST
The Dream swept New York way back in 2010 in a two-game Eastern Conference semifinal.
ColinHOST
And then in 2024, the Liberty returned the favor as the top seed with a two-game sweep in another three-game series against the eight-seeded Dream in the first round of the playoffs back in 2024.
ColinHOST
This was the fifth playoff game between the two teams and the advantage went to Atlanta.
AllisonHOST
Okay, Derek, let's start with the big picture.
AllisonHOST
The Dream are sitting pretty at 30-14, first in the Eastern Conference division.
AllisonHOST
They just swept the Mystics 93-75.
AllisonHOST
But now they face the Liberty.
AllisonHOST
Here is what we are covering today.
AllisonHOST
First, we'll look at the matchup angles between these two Eastern Conference heavyweights, and why the Liberty can't be slept on despite their regular season record.
AllisonHOST
Second, we'll dive into the key players, specifically Alicia Gray and Angel Reese, and the injury report that might shift the balance of power.
AllisonHOST
And finally, we'll give you our keys to victory and a bold prediction for who walks out of State Farm Arena with the win.
AllisonHOST
Stick with us.
AllisonHOST
[whistle blowing] All right, let's start with the big picture.
AllisonHOST
The Atlanta Dream come in at 30 to 14, sitting first in the Eastern Conference division.
AllisonHOST
They just swept the Washington Mystics 93 to 75 in game two, advancing to the semifinals for the first time since 2018.
DerekHOST
Let's get right into it.
DerekHOST
The Dream are 30 to 14 and sitting pretty as the number one seed in the Eastern Conference division.
DerekHOST
They just swept the Mystics, and they're looking to make some noise in the semifinals.
AllisonHOST
[audience cheering] And the Liberty? They're the favorites to win the whole thing now after sweeping the Lynx.
LarryPANELIST
But this season was another story.
LarryPANELIST
Atlanta played 682 ball, finished fourth best in the WNBA Eastern Conference.
LarryPANELIST
That finish secured the Dream's home court advantage in the early playoffs.
LarryPANELIST
And for the first time in seven years, they advanced to the second round of the playoffs.
ColinHOST
Career high in points at 16.4, her third straight all-star game selection.
ColinHOST
And she closed out the regular season by winning the Eastern Conference Player of the Week in three straight weeks.
ColinHOST
So well-deserved recognition for Angel Reese as defensive player of the year by both the AP and the WNBA.
ColinHOST
And although she would not get named to the all AP first team, she was named to the all AP second team with Ryan Howard, who ended up leading the league in steals, setting records for her three point shooting and would typically take on the best offensive player for opposing teams all night.
DerekHOST
The Mystics are right there behind them at 28-16.
DerekHOST
This is a top-tier Eastern Conference showdown.
AllisonHOST
Exactly.
AllisonHOST
And after that dominant 92-77 win in Game 1 last Sunday, everyone is asking the same question.
Allison JonesHOST
We just won by 15, 15 points in a playoff series.
Allison JonesHOST
And now we're on the road in Washington, staring down the barrel of a potential sweep that could silence the entire Eastern Conference before it even gets going.
Derek ThompsonHOST
It feels like the momentum is completely locked in for Atlanta right now.
Derek ThompsonHOST
You don't get many teams playing with this much defensive intensity and offensive efficiency in October.
Tyler ConnehamHOST
Now they finish 11-33.
Tyler ConnehamHOST
They rank 13 in the Eastern Conference.
Tyler ConnehamHOST
And all their stats are, well, near the bottom of the league.
Tyler ConnehamHOST
Not sure why rebounds didn't show up, but they're 10th in points per game, 12th in assists, 15th in opponents scoring.
