The Atlanta Dream continue their successful 2026 postseason but face challenges with attendance at home playoff games. After advancing past the Washington Mystics with a 2-0 series victory, the team played the New York Liberty and won 92-82. A spokesperson mentioned that the decision to only open the lower bowl, which holds 8,800 of the arena's 17,000 seats, was due to a short turnaround between games. They are set to play the Liberty again this week, aiming for another win to come closer to the WNBA Finals.
