The New York Liberty extended its winning streak to six games on Thursday night, beating the Atlanta Dream 104-90 in a matchup between two unbeaten Commissioner's Cup teams.
New York's 16-of-31 shooting from beyond the arc opened up the game, while Atlanta's struggles at the free-throw line kept it out of reach.
Liberty vs Dream Shakes Up WNBA Commissioner's Cup Race
The result reshapes the 2026 WNBA Commissioner's Cup standings as New York improves to 4-0 in Cup play, now controlling its path to the final.
Satou Sabally paced the bench with 19 points, and Breanna Stewart anchored the frontcourt defense alongside Raquel Carrera. Together, they limited Atlanta's second-chance opportunities.
Despite the Liberty committing 20 turnovers, the 2024 WNBA champion overcame poor ball handling by generating clean looks and consistent offensive movement. Later, a pair of deep threes from French stars Marine Johannes and Pauline Astier helped New York cement the win
Angel Reese Scores Team-High 25 in Dream Loss
Angel Reese was one of Atlanta's few bright spots on Thursday, leading the Dream with a team-high 25 points. She started slow but found her rhythm, attacking the basket through contact in the second half.
But her effort alone wasn't enough to close the gap. The Dream shot just 15-of-27 from the free-throw line, leaving points on the board when it mattered most. Atlanta now sits at 2-1 in WNBA Commissioner's Cup play with less room for error going forward.
The Liberty next hosts the Washington Mystics on Sunday at 3 PM ET, live on NBA TV.
The Dream, meanwhile, travels to Toronto to face the Tempo on Sunday at 3 PM ET, live on WNBA League Pass.
