Coming off of a near-week’s rest, the New York Liberty faced off against the Atlanta Dream in a matinee matchup at the Barclays Center. New York was unable to pull out the win despite rookie Micheala Onyewere’s career-high 29 points and Betnijah Laney’s 20, extending his 20+ point streak to seven games to begin the season, one short of the WNBA record.
Courtney Williams had 31 points and seven assists for Atlanta and nailed a game-winning three pointer with just under 1.5 seconds remaining in overtime to propel the Dream to victory. The Liberty are now 5-2, second in the East while the Dream is now 4-2.
