Atlanta is 30-14 to New York’s 26-18 and has won nine straight, including both playoff games against New York, by 10 and then by 3 in overtime. Regulation in Game 2 ended 88-88, with New York shooting 35-for-64 from the field and 12-for-25 from three. Atlanta took 84 shots to New York’s 64 and won in overtime, 13-10, with New York committing 16 turnovers to Atlanta’s 7. In Game 1, it was 19 turnovers to 13. New York’s shooting held up in Game 2, so the fix is fewer turnovers. Breanna Stewart scored 35 with 11 rebounds in 43 minutes, and Jonquel Jones added 21. Allisha Gray sat out Game 2 with a left hand injury and is listed day-to-day, and Brionna Jones is out for Atlanta. New York scored 98 on the road in Game 2 and won both first-round games against Minnesota by 16 points each. A loss in this game ends its season. New York is the right side tonight.
