Liberty vs. Dream Game 2 prediction
Allisha Gray’s injury looms large over Game 2.
asserted
injury → drop → Game
She only played 11 minutes after suffering a hand injury early in the game, but as the Dream’s leading scorer, her presence will be missed.
asserted
presence → play → scorer
Atlanta has thrived offensively in the postseason thanks to contributions from across the board, but Gray, who was their leading scorer in the regular season, is tough to replace.
asserted
who → thrive → season
The upside for the Dream is they can lean on their defense, which has been as spectacular in the playoffs as it was in the regular season.

it → lean → season
The Dream paced the league in steals per game (9.1) and turnovers forced per game (16) during the regular season and those numbers have exploded in the playoffs.
asserted
numbers → pace → playoffs
The sample size is small of course, but the Dream are averaging 13.3 steals and forcing 21 turnovers through three playoff games.
asserted
Dream → average → games
Led by Defensive Player of the Year Angel Reese, who was flying around the court in Game 1, the Dream were able to weather a late run from the Liberty and put the game away to go up 1-0 in the series.

The Liberty should be concerned by a few things from Game 1.
asserted
Liberty → concern → Game
They got six points from their bench, gave up 32 points off turnovers and were outscored 18-0 on fast break points.
asserted

The turnovers have been an issue for them all season and it’s unlikely that will change as the Dream will turn up the pressure and try to beat them in the possession game to fill the scoring void Gray will leave.
asserted
Gray → ’ → void
They can avoid compounding the problem and giving up easy points on the break by simply getting back in transition and avoiding telegraphed crosscourt passes.
asserted

asserted

That, combined with Gray’s absence, should bring the scoring down.
asserted
That → combine → scoring
