There was a lot of movement in the rankings this week, with league juggernauts stumbling and some unassuming contenders displaying their grit. The Liberty and Aces showed they are far from invincible, with both teams falling at home. New York has lost three consecutive games in Brooklyn and will look to right the ship when it hosts the Mercury on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, the Dream have taken over the top spot, playing with poise down the stretch of close games. Four of Atlanta’s five matchups have been decided by five points or less, with the Dream staying within striking distance in the fourth quarter and coming up clutch at the end of games.
