Sophie Cunningham and Drew Hanlen break down the biggest moments from the first round of the WNBA playoffs, from the Liberty’s historic upset over the Lynx to Arike Ogunbowale’s 45-point explosion and the Valkyries’ incredible comeback against Dallas.

Then they move on to breaking down the semifinals, where the Golden State Valkyries are up 2-0 over the Las Vegas Aces, and the Atlanta Dream are up 2-0 over the New York Liberty. They dive into Atlanta’s defensive dominance, the Valkyries’ battle with the Aces, and the Dream-Liberty series (including Sophie’s reaction to the end of game situation in Game 2 and Stewie’s comments about the refs) analyzing key matchups and the late-game decisions that can make or break a championship run.
