Dream move within one win of first WNBA Finals appearance since 2013 after overtime victory
Angel Reese scored six overtime points and Naz Hillmon's go-ahead layup gave the Atlanta Dream a 2-0 WNBA semifinals lead over the New York Liberty.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on the Dream’s overtime win over the Liberty and the resulting 2-0 series lead, with both framing Atlanta as one victory from the WNBA Finals. Fox News alone adds the player-level detail that Angel Reese scored six overtime points and Naz Hillmon hit the go-ahead layup. Newsweek keeps the coverage more general and lead-focused.
