ATLANTA (AP) -- Angel McCoughtry scored a career-high 42 points to win a
high-scoring duel with Cappie Pondexter, and the Atlanta Dream beat the New
York Liberty 105-93 on Tuesday night to complete their unlikely march to the
WNBA finals.
Pondexter led New York with 36 points, her postseason high mark, and nine
assists.
The Dream, the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, swept Washington
in the first round before also winning two straight over the Liberty in the
conference finals.
Atlanta, a third-year expansion franchise which set a league record with 30
losses only two years ago, will face the Western Conference champion Seattle
Storm in the WNBA finals. The best-of-five series begins Sunday in Seattle.
