Atlanta Dream Women — New York Liberty Women: 101:98, NBA Women

Atlanta Dream faced New York Liberty in the Women's NBA on 7 October 2026, and the match finished 26:26. It was a rare stalemate between two sides that have been trading wins all season. To be fair, neither team could find enough separation to claim victory.

The two clubs have met four times already this year, and Atlanta held the edge with three wins. By then they knew each other's patterns well enough to keep things tight. The hosts took a 10-point lead at one stage, while the visitors managed seven — not enough to tilt the balance.

Atlanta shot 34 from 84 in the field, with 12 three-pointers and 21 successful free throws. New York were slightly more accurate, making 35 of 64 attempts and matching the three-point tally. The Dream won the rebound battle 35 to 36 and turned the ball over nine times compared with 17 for the visitors. And here's the thing — those extra possessions did not translate into points.

Both sides entered the fixture with 44 games played. Atlanta sit on top with 30 wins and 14 losses, while New York occupy fourth place on 26 victories and 18 defeats. The draw keeps the gap at four wins between them. Things came to a head in the final minutes when neither side would yield, and the result leaves the table unchanged.
