What happened: Jordin Canada pushing the tempo off both missed and made baskets is generating higher-quality looks for the Atlanta Dream. The constant transition pressure creates easier offensive opportunities before the opposing defense can set up.

Why it matters: This stylistic edge has been a critical advantage for Jordin Canada and the roster during the postseason. Atlanta has successfully leveraged this fast pace to build a 2-0 lead in their WNBA Semifinals series.

What to watch: Atlanta will attempt to close out the series and advance in Game 3 without Allisha Gray.
