What it means
A reason to be cautious about carrying this game forward: the Dream gave up more points off turnovers than they scored, 23–8. One game is still one game.
The Dream came into the series as the No. 4 seed and the Mystics as the No. 5; the higher seed finished the job.
Next for the Dream: the No. 8 New York Liberty in the best-of-five semifinals, with home-court advantage as the No. 4 seed. Game 1 is at State Farm Arena on Sunday, October 4.
Next up: NY at ATL on Oct 4 (no market capture yet) — and the Liberty allow 86.4 a game, 9th-most of 15. Player props enter the board inside 36 hours of tip.
