The New York Liberty face a critical Game 2 against the Atlanta Dream in the WNBA semifinals after a 92-82 loss in Game 1. With five players including Allisha Gray, Brionna Jones, and Satou Sabally out, the roster is severely depleted. Jordin Canada led Atlanta with 25 points and 5 steals in the opener.

This episode analyzes the impact of the injury crisis on New York's rotations and defensive schemes. We discuss how Sabrina Ionescu's 27 points and Jonquel Jones' double-double weren't enough to overcome Atlanta's rebounding and steal advantages. Key topics include adjusting to reduced depth and stopping Canada's second-half dominance.

Hosts Gina and Wes break down the tactical adjustments needed for Sunday's game. They predict the Dream will take a 2-0 series lead, citing the lack of rim protection and turnover issues. Listeners get a detailed look at the matchup angles and keys to victory for the Liberty.
