You'll have to forgive the Atlanta Dream if they have to be reminded that they are, indeed, still a part of the WNBA playoffs.The Dream, the only lower seed to knock off a higher seeded team in the opening round of the playoffs, will have had nine days off since sweeping the Washington Mystics out of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Their reward for all that time off is a first-ever berth in the Eastern finals against the New York Liberty Sunday night at Madison Square Garden.
The Dream, who faltered to end the regular season, held commanding leads over the top seeded Mystics in both games of their series, including a 24-0 run in Game 2.
Now, Atlanta, in its deepest postseason foray in their three seasons of existence must reassemble the league's top rebounding unit and the second most potent offense to continue their run.
"We all have our strengths that make this team great," said Atlanta guard Angel McCoughtry (pictured on left of photo) to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "It's like superheroes. Some can fly; some are strong. We all have our different gifts that bring us together and make us great."
