Canada Scores 25, Bonner Adds 23 as Dream Beat Liberty 92-82 in WNBA Semifinals Game 1

On Sunday, the Atlanta Dream defeated the New York Liberty 92-82 in Game 1 of the WNBA semifinals at State Farm Arena, with Jordin Canada scoring 20 of her 25 points in the second half.
After guard Allisha Gray suffered a hand injury in the second quarter, the Dream relied on DeWanna Bonner's 23 points to overcome a three-point halftime deficit against New York.
Atlanta forced 19 turnovers while winning the third quarter 32-15; Angel Reese and Canada each tallied three steals during that frame, keying a 13-3 run that gave the Dream a lead they never surrendered.
Despite a late push from the Liberty, who trimmed the lead to five points with fewer than three minutes remaining, Canada hit a clutch three-pointer and a transition layup to seal the victory.
The Dream now lead the best-of-five series 1-0 and are two wins away from the WNBA Finals, with Game 2 of the semifinals scheduled for Wednesday in Atlanta.
