Just call her angel of the morning

The GIST: All eyes are on the WNBA as the best-of-seven Finals series continues with tomorrow’s 1 p.m. ET Game 4. Everything’s coming up Atlanta Dream (up 2-1) after a lopsided Game 3 victory — here’s who’s handing out Ls in the ATL and how the Golden State Valkyries can respond on the road. All hoops, all the time.

💭 The Dream have been a nightmare for the Valks: A 26-point blowout win on Wednesday, punctuated by a historic third straight double-double for Angel Reese has flipped this series on its head. The Dream are beating GSV at their own game behind an electric home crowd, lights-out defense, and penchant for forcing turnovers.

• Led by Reese, this defense has held Golden State to just 68 points a game in these Finals, 14 less than their regular-season average. Uncharacteristically quiet on offense, Rhyne Howard has played her part on D, setting a Finals record with 11 steals in two games.

💜 What’s going on with Golden State?: Series can change on a dime, but the Valks have looked out of sorts these last two games, suffering their first back-to-back losses since August. What’s more, this squad’s signature defense was nowhere to be found in Game 3 as they surrendered 97 points, the second-most they’ve allowed this postseason.

• As for the offense, Gabby Williams hasn’t been herself since a Game 1 collision, shooting a dismal 8-for-33 from the floor in GSV’s last two losses. Whether it’s “urgency” or a focus on taking care of the basketball, the Valks need to cook up something to get back into this one.

🏆 It all comes down to this. While you may not be root root rooting for your home team, there’s still plenty to play for this postseason with PROLINE. Embrace that late October energy and get in on the Game 1 action.

The GIST: It’s the penultimate weekend of NWSL regular-season play and the stakes are sky-high with five of the eight playoff berths, first-round and semifinal home-field advantage, and the NWSL Shield all on the line this weekend. Here are the games on our radar as clinching opportunities abound.

🌧️ Seattle Reign vs. 👑 Utah Royals — Tonight at 9:30 p.m. ET: Seattle’s right in the mix, clinging to the eighth and final spot. The Royals, meanwhile, have tumbled in the second half of the season, currently sitting in sixth with their leading scorer, Mina Tanaka, still out with a hamstring injury. Taking her place? Canadian Cloé Lacasse, who’s had success against the Reign in the past.

🦁 North Carolina Courage vs. 🌹 Portland Thorns — Tonight at 10 p.m. ET: This one’s worth staying up for as Golden Boot leader Ashley Sanchez and the Courage trail the aforementioned Reign by one point in the standings. A win keeps their playoff hopes alive. On the other side of the ball, Thorns star Sophia Wilson will do everything to help her squad clinch tonight rather than leaving their fate to Decision Day.

🦇 Gotham FC vs. 💜 Orlando Pride — Sunday at 3 p.m. ET: Defending champs Gotham currently hold the top seed, but a loss in this one would open the door for another team to snatch it along with home-field advantage in the first two rounds. The Bats suffered just their second L in 15 games last week and will be hungry for some stability heading into the postseason.

👻 Washington Spirit vs. ⚡ Kansas City Current — Sunday at 5 p.m. ET: A battle between the current No. 3 and No. 4 seeds, this one has potential playoff preview written all over it. But first things first for the not-yet clinched Current, they can secure their spot with a win, a draw, a Royals win, or a Portland win or draw. We love options.
