Two WNBA playoff semifinals move forward Friday, Oct. 9, with both series reaching Game 3. The New York Liberty take on the Dream at home, though Atlanta takes the floor shorthanded as guard Allisha Gray is ruled out with an injury. The Liberty hold the series advantage and play at home.
In the other semifinal, the Golden State Valkyries meet the Aces in Game 3. Golden State took Game 2 on the road and now sits one win from a Finals berth. The Valkyries relied on contributions up and down the lineup to beat the Aces in Game 2, putting serious pressure on Las Vegas on Friday.
