The Golden State Valkyries have completed a number of firsts, becoming the first expansion team to reach the postseason in its first year. Is the franchise’s first playoff win next?

The No. 8. Valkyries will host the No. 1 overall seed Minnesota Lynx on Wednesday, Sept. 17, in Game 2 of the best-of-three first-round WNBA playoff series. The matchup won’t be at Chase Center, where Golden State sold out all 22 home games and set a WNBA attendance record. Instead, the Valkyries will be playing at SAP Center at San Jose (home of the NHL’s San Jose Sharks) due to a scheduling conflict.

‘We have faith in our fans that they’re going to continue to show out for us,’ WNBA’s Most Improved Player Veronica Burton said. ‘Wherever we play, we’re going to bring our basketball. So, we’re confident, we’re excited, it’s another opportunity to compete.” 

The Valkyries will need all the help they can get in slowing down MVP candidate Napheesa Collier, who had 20 points, six rebounds, two assists and one steal in the Lynx’s 101-72 Game 1 victory. The Lynx controlled the glass (36-26) and the paint (44-18) in their dominant 29-point win.

Valkyries head coach Natalie Nakase called out Game 1’s officiating, saying she wants ‘a fair fight’ in Game 2. The Valkyries attempted 27 free throws in Game 1, compared to 24 for the Lynx.

‘We’re playing the No. 1 team,’ Nakase said. ‘We’re playing the best team in the league. They don’t need no help. This team is great. They’re stacked. They play well. They play beautiful basketball. They’re coached well. They don’t need the help.’

Here’s what you need to know for Game 2 between the Valkyries and Lynx:

The Phoenix Mercury are turning the page on Sunday’s disappointing overtime loss to the New York Liberty.

Despite shooting a dismal 32.5% from the field at home in Game 1 of the first-round WNBA playoffs series, the Mercury had a chance to win in regulation, but a would-be game-winning layup from Alyssa Thomas bounced off the rim and sent the game to overtime, where the Liberty outscored the Mercury 11-4 to steal Game 1.

‘Right after the game in our huddle, we got right to it and said, ‘(Game 1) is done. It’s over.’ Our heads are still up,’ Mercury guard Kahleah Copper said after Phoenix’s 76-69 Game 1 loss. ‘The mindset is go get it. Let’s go to New York and get it. There’s no other mindset. Whoever said ‘Liberty in 3’ or whatever, it’s cool, stay there. It’s alright. Mercury versus everybody. That’s how we feel.”

The Liberty didn’t escape with the overtime win unscathed. Forward Breanna Stewart went down on Sunday with a left knee injury with 3:01 remaining in overtime after making a driving layup. Imaging on her left knee came back ‘relatively clean.’ Liberty coach Sandy Brondello revealed on Tuesday, but Stewart is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday’s Game 2 in Brooklyn.

The Mercury will have to win on the road on Wednesday to avoid back-to-back first-round playoff exits. With a win, the defending champion Liberty will advance to the semifinals for the third consecutive season.

The status of the proposed fight between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis – under scrutiny because of the weight discrepancy between the two fighters – has grown murky.

Rick Thompson, chairman of the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission (GAEC), told USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday, Sept. 16 that the promoter had withdrawn their request for event permits and rule waivers required to hold the event in Georgia.

The promoter was Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), co-founded by Paul and business partner Nakisa Bidarian.

“I believe it’s in the public’s interest to know that because they’ve been promoting something they should not have been,’’ Thompson said when reached by USA TODAY Sports.

In fact, on Tuesday, Sept. 16, tickets still were available for purchase online and the fight still was listed on the State Farm Arena event calendar, to be held Nov. 14. MVP announced the fight, which is supposed to be carried by Netflix, on Aug. 20.

MVP did not respond to questions about the fight submitted by email and text message.

One rule waiver MVP had requested would have addressed the weight discrepancy between Paul and Davis. Paul weighed in at 199½ pounds for his last fight and Davis weighed in at 133¾ pounds for his last fight.

The GAEC commission is scheduled to meet Thursday and was expected to vote on MVP’s requests. MVP needed the votes of three of the five commissioners for approval, and the chairman – one of the five commissioners – adamantly opposed the rule waiver that would have modified restrictions on the allowed weight difference between fighters. 

“They probably evaluated a situation, knew that their weight differences were too much,’’ Thompson said.

Thompson said he was notified of MVP’s decision Tuesday by GAEC executive director Matt Woodruff.

In an interview with USA TODAY Sports Sept. 8, Thompson blasted the fight, calling it ‘the dumbest (expletive) I’ve ever heard.’ He also said he didn’t think Paul was a competitive fighter.

But on Tuesday, Thompson said he hoped MVP could reconsider holding the proposed undercard for the Paul-Davis bout in Atlanta.

“We would love for the undercard to still fight in the state of Georgia,’’ he said. “We believe the undercard is something people would like to see.’’

On Sept. 2, USA TODAY Sports reported that the proposed fight between Paul and Davis had hit an apparent snag.

The Indiana Fever needed a win a home on Tuesday to keep their season alive. They achieved that goal.

The No. 6-seed Fever defeated the No. 3 seed Atlanta Dream 77-60 for a wire-to-wire Game 2 victory. It was the Fever’s first playoff home game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse since 2016 and sets up a decisive winner-take-all Game 3 in Atlanta on Thursday. 

Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell followed up her 27-point performance in Game 1 with a game-high 19 points on Tuesday, shooting 6-of-13 from the field including 4-of-8 from 3. Aliyah Boston added 15 points and five rebounds, and the Fever bench contributed 15 points. 

The Dream lacked a sense of urgency out of the gate and were held to 60 points, their second-lowest point total of the season. Te-Hina Paopao (11) and Rhyne Howard (10 points) were the only players to reach double digits for the Dream. Atlanta shot 37.9% from the field and 5-of-19 from the 3-point line.

Indiana Fever score today

Indiana Fever fans escorted off after exchange with Allisha Gray

Two Indiana Fever fans were escorted from their courtside seats at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in the fourth quarter after appearing to say something to Dream guard Allisha Gray. The incident happened with 6:10 remaining in the game as the Dream trailed the Fever 71-47. Gray alerted arena security of the fan’s behavior and looked visibly upset after the exchange. After the incident, Gray was comforted by teammate Rhyne Howard on the bench.

End of Q3: Fever 59, Dream 44

Guard Lexie Hull knocked down a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to end the third quarter on a 7-0 run and extend the Fever’s lead to 15-points, their largest of the series. Hull’s open shot was made possible by Shey Peddy’s inbound steal, highlighting the do-or-die mentality of the Fever. Kelsey Mitchell has a game-high 19 points and Aliyah Boston has added eight points and five rebounds.

Rhyne Howard is the leading scorer on the Dream with 10 points. No other Dream player has surpassed double digits. The Dream is shooting 38.8% from the field and is 1-of-13 from the 3-point line.

Tyrese Haliburton in the building

Indiana Pacers superstar Tyrese Haliburton pulled up to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to cheer on the Fever on Wednesday. Haliburton is just returning the favor. Caitlin Clark and several Fever players, including Lexie Hull and Aliyah Boston, attended multiple NBA playoff games in support of the Pacers during the team’s NBA Finals run.

Naz Hillmon picks up fourth foul

Dream forward Naz Hillmon picked up her third personal foul with 6:48 remaining in the third quarter as the Dream trailed the Fever 35-40. Hillmon grabbed a defensive rebound and caught Fever forward Natasha Howard in the face with her elbow while swinging her arm. The foul was reviewed for a possible upgrade, but was ultimately deemed a common foul. Hillmon picked up her fourth foul with 5:37 remaining in the third.

Atlanta’s Brionna Jones has three fouls, while Lexie Hull has four for the Fever.

Halftime: Fever 35, Dream 29

The Fever led by as many as 11 points in the second quarter and, despite several runs from the Dream, take a six-point lead into halftime.

Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell (11) is the leader scorer, shooting 3-of-8 from the field and 3-of-5 from the 3-point line. Natasha Howard and Aliyah Boston each added six points.

Meanwhile, Atlanta is struggling to find its offensive rhythm. The Dream are shooting 39.4% from the field and 1-of-9 from beyond the arc in the first half after missing their first eight 3-point attempts. Atlanta has also left points on the board at the free throw line, shooting 2-of-6. Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray, who combined for 40 points in Atlanta’s Game 1 win, have been held in check so far. Howard has six points (2-of-7 FG, 0-of-3 3PT) and Gray has five points (2-of-9 FG, 1-of-3 3PT).

Both teams are dealing with foul trouble. Lexie Hull has three fouls and Howard and Boston each have two fouls for the Fever. Atlanta’s Naz Hillmon and Brionna Jones each have two fouls.

Fever stars dealing with foul trouble

The Fever went on a 10-2 run in the second quarter to take an 11-point lead over the Dream, their largest lead of the game, with 4:06 remaining in the half. The run is even more impressive considering Fever center Aliyah Boston had to sit with 6:34 remaining after picking up her second personal foul. Natasha Howard and Lexi Hull also have two fouls each.

End of Q1: Fever 20, Dream 14

The Fever have a six-point lead heading into the second quarter.

Kelsey Mitchell has a game-high eight points for the Fever. Lexie Hull added four points, but was limited to five minutes in the first quarter after picking up two quick fouls. Shey Peddy and Aerial Powers each added three points off the bench.

All of the Dream’s 14 first-quarter points were scored in the paint. Brionna Jones has a team-high six points and two steals. Jordin Canada added four points and two assists. Rhyne Howard was held scoreless (0-of-2 FG), while Allisha Gray scored two points. The Dream are 0-of-3 from the 3-point line, while the Fever are 3-of-6 from 3.

Game 2 tips off between Fever-Dream

Game 2 is underway at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and the Fever have a 11-8 lead with 4:46 remaining in the first quarter. Jordin Canada and Brionna Jones combined for the Dream’s eight first-quarter points, which all came in the paint. Kelsey Mitchell leads the Fever with five points, while Lexie Hull added four points. Hull is already in foul trouble with two fouls and headed to the bench early.

The Indiana Fever host the Atlanta Dream at 7:30 p.m. ET (4:30 p.m. PT) on Tuesday, Sept. 16 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.

X factor: Brittney Griner coming off the bench

Atlanta coach of the Year candidate Karl Smesko moved veteran center Brittney Griner to the bench for the first time in her career during the regular season, a risky move that has paid off. Atlanta’s bench only averaged 19.2 points per game in the regular season, fourth-worst in the league, but Griner’s addition has added another dimension to the Dream’s bench. Griner had 17 points and four blocks off the bench in the Dream’s regular-season finale win over the Connecticut Sun, but was held to two points in Game 1 vs. the Fever.

  • May 24: Clark suffered a left quad injury during the Fever’s 90-88 loss to the New York Liberty, where she recorded a double-double with 18 points and 10 assists. Clark couldn’t pinpoint the specific play that caused her injury, but noted that it happened early in the contest. Clark said, ‘Adrenaline covers up a lot of stuff when you’re in the heat of battle. After the game, I had some pain, and then we got an MRI, and that kind of gave me the result that I didn’t want to see.’ She missed the Fever’s next five games.
  • June 14: Clark returned to Indiana’s lineup in the Fever’s 102-88 win over the Liberty and dropped 32 points, nine assists and eight rebounds in her first game back. 
  • June 24: Clark suffered a left groin injury in the Fever’s 94-86 winover the Seattle Storm, which resulted in Clark missing the team’s next four games. Fever coach Stephanie White said she learned of Clark’s groin injury the following night after Clark alerted team trainers of discomfort.
  • July 1: Clark was ruled out of the Fever’s 2025 Commissioner’s Cup win over the Minnesota Lynx in Minneapolis. That didn’t stop Clark from rightfully celebrating the team’s hardware.
  • July 9: Clark returned to the Fever’s lineup in the Fever’s 80-61 loss to the Golden State Valkyries. Clark was limited to 10 points, shooting 4 of 12 from the field and 2 of 5 from the 3-point line, and had six assists, five rebounds and four turnovers. Following the blowout loss, Clark said it was ‘going to take me a second to get my wind back. … Just trying to get my legs under me.’
  • July 15: Clark suffered a right groin injury in the final minute of the Fever’s 85-77 victory over the Sun at TD Garden in Boston. White later confirmed Clark ‘felt a little something in her groin.’ This marked the last game for which Clark suited up.
  • July 18: Clark announced that she would sit out the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis, where she was named a team captain. Clark was also set to participate in the 3-point contest. She said, ‘I am incredibly sad and disappointed to say I can’t participate … I have to rest my body.’
  • July 24: The Fever said Clark’s medical evaluations confirmed there’s ‘no additional injuries or damage,’ but the team said it will be cautious with Clark’s rehab and recovery.
  • Aug. 7: Clark reportedly suffered a mild bone bruise in her left ankle during an individual workout session in Phoenix, according to The Indianapolis Star, part of the USA TODAY Network.
  • Aug. 8: During an appearance on Sue Bird’s podcast, ‘Bird’s Eye View,’ Clark spoke about the frustrations of her injury-filled season: “It’s not like I have a training camp to build up to play in my first game again. It’s like no, you’re tossed into Game 30 — like, ‘Go try to play well.’ It’s hard, it really is.”
  • Aug. 10: Fever coach Stephanie White said Clark has progressed in her recovery and has started running full court again, but Clark hasn’t returned to practice just yet: an important step in her ramp-up. ‘She’s been able to get a little bit more in her full-court running with all of her body weight. … She’s been able to do a little more on the court in terms of how she moves, but not into practice yet,’ White said.
  • Aug. 20: White confirmed that Clark has not returned to practice yet.
  • Aug. 24: Clark participated in a team shootaround and went through some non-contact drills with the second team, marking her first time practicing with the team since suffering a right groin injury on July 15.
  • Sept. 4: Clark shared a post on her official X account, stating that she will miss the rest of the regular season and any potential postseason action.

Game 2 preview

The injury-plagued Indiana Fever have been resilient all season long, but the Fever find themselves with their backs are against the wall yet again.

The No. 6 seed Fever dropped Game 1 against the No. 3 seed Atlanta Dream 80-68, despite a 27-point performance from veteran guard Kelsey Mitchell. The Fever now must win Game 2 of the best-of-three first-round WNBA playoff series on Tuesday to keep their Cinderella season alive.

‘We shot ourselves in the foot and weren’t able to capitalize on the things that make us great,’ Mitchell said after the Game 1 loss. ‘We hurt ourselves in a lot of different areas that impact being able to make plays and do what we wanted on the offensive end. Once we stop doing that, we give ourselves more of a chance to be who we are.’

It wasn’t a particularly great shooting night for either team. The Fever were held to 34.9% from the field and 2-of-15 from beyond the arc, compared to Atlanta going 38.6% from the field with seven made 3s.

Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard each scored 20 points for the Dream. Naz Hillmon added 16 points and nine rebounds, while Brionna Jones had 12 points and three steals in the win.

Founded in 2009 and listed in 2011, Angkor Resources (TSXV:ANK,OTCQB:ANKOF) has developed a dual focus on energy and minerals across Asia and North America.

Angkor Resources is advancing a dual-track strategy across energy and minerals. In Canada, its subsidiary EnerCam Exploration generates revenue from oil production, water disposal, and gas processing, while also pioneering carbon capture and conversion solutions.

In Cambodia, subsidiary EnerCam Resources is driving the nation’s first-ever onshore oil and gas exploration on Block VIII, positioning the company for transformational growth. On the mineral side, Angkor is a first-mover in Cambodia’s underexplored belts, with licenses at Andong Meas and Andong Bor targeting both precious and base metals, where exploration has already confirmed copper porphyry systems and high-grade gold mineralization.

Angkor mitigates risk by diversifying revenue, combining recurring Canadian cash flow with high-impact exploration in Cambodia, where management prioritizes hydrocarbons and copper, highlighting 25 million recoverable barrels and significant copper-gold potential.

Company Highlights

  • Diversified Energy & Mineral Portfolio: Exposure to high-impact oil and gas exploration in Cambodia (Block VIII), recurring energy revenues in Canada, and copper-gold porphyry systems with gold epithermal near-surface prospects in Cambodia.
  • Near-term Catalysts:

    • Seismic completion and interpretation for drill targets on Block VIII within 90 days; and
    • Acquisition of oil production for increased recurring revenue streams.
  • Transformational Asset: Block VIII is Cambodia’s first onshore oil and gas exploration license, strategically located near export infrastructure. Potential minimum targets estimated at 25 to 50+ million recoverable barrels.
  • Revenue-backed Model: EnerCam Canada provides recurring revenue streams via oil production, water disposal, gas processing, and carbon capture solutions, insulating Angkor from over-reliance on equity markets.
  • Strong ESG Commitment: Recognized at the United Nations for sustainability, Angkor integrates carbon capture, community partnerships and environmental responsibility into every project.
  • Aligned Shareholder Base: Over 40 percent insider ownership with regular insider buying, demonstrating management’s confidence in long-term growth.

Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN) (FSE: P84) (Tradegate: P84) (‘Sranan’ or the ‘Company’) announces results from a saprolite interval of the initial drill hole, 25RADD-001, at the Randy’s Pit target located on a 4.5-kilometre mineralized trend at the Tapanahony Project in Suriname. The hole intersected 11.5 metres (m) of 3.64 grams per tonne (gt) gold* in weathered mineralized saprolite from a quartz and gossan (oxidizedsulfide relicts-rich) ore zone.

The hole is 300 m north of Randy’s Pit and 280 m north of the high-grade grab samples of up to 76.6 g/t gold reported in Sranan’s new release dated July 31, 2025, where shafts were being excavated. Hole AP12-14 drilled by Iamgold in 2012 is nearby and also reported similar high-grade gold values and similar thicknesses in the saprolite, including an intersection of 13.5 m of 4.17 g/t gold1.

Table 1: Mineralized zone in hole 25RADD-001 drilled by Sranan Gold.

Hole ID Easting Northing Z Azimuth Dip From (m) To (m) Interval (m) Au (g/t)
25RADD-001 766418 455438 159 230 -50 23 34.5 11.5 3.64
Including 29.1 30.5 1.4 21.1

 

*Above 0.3 g/t gold with max 3 m of internal dilution

Dr. Dennis LaPoint, EVP of Exploration and Corporate Development, commented: ‘These initial drill results are key for testing the gold potential of the Randy’s Pit target. The results in saprolite, where no prior mining has been conducted by small-scale miners, in addition to the trench results reported on September 9, 2025, define a gold-bearing corridor of 500 metres with gold present in the near-surface weathered rock. We expect continued drilling to define the grade, orientation and structural controls on the Randy’s trend in unweathered rock.

‘Trenching will be used to extend the Randy’s Pit trend further south and diamond core drilling will test beneath Randy’s Pit and the area to the north. Continued drilling will determine how the Randy’s Pit trend and Poeketi mines to the north are linked structurally.’

Samples were prepared and assayed by Filab in Paramaribo, Suriname. All samples >2 g/t were re-assayed with 50-gram re-assay and gravimetric assay. Standard QA/QC procedures were followed which showed a satisfactory level of reproducibility. Reject samples will be sent to an independent lab for confirmation of assay results following standard procedures. Channel sampling, trenching and drilling are used to determine average grade and thickness. The Company notes that the core sample intervals may not represent true thickness of mineralization.

Homerun has now announced 300 thousand tonnes of solar glass offtake and based on current ongoing discussions for increased and new offtakes, that number is expected to grow to 450 thousand tonnes which will exceed the modeled 1000 tonne per day plant capacity. This offtake process continues to confirm Homerun’s position as the go-to supplier for solar glass in Brazil. Homerun has drawn the attention of both existing and future solar module manufacturers in Brazil and upon the completion of the BFS, the Company will formalize these offtake agreements to remove market risk and to facilitate further CAPEX streams to finance the building of the facility,’ stated Armando Farhate, COO of Homerun.

This Agreement is currently non-binding and aims to outline the basic terms for the supply arrangements between the Parties. It does not create any legal obligations or liabilities for either Party. The Parties agree that binding agreements shall supersede this agreement, based on the development of the BRFV solar module facility and once the solar glass plant reaches a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS).

The BFS process is progressing on an expedited basis:

  • Abundant silica resources are proximal to the solar glass plant location and permitted for extraction and processing.
  • Discussions to utilize current processing plant capacity in the Santa Maria Eterna Silica Sand District are ongoing with a current supply partner.
  • Location, production plant engineering and equipment suppliers, market metrics and input cost calculations for the BFS have been completed internally by Homerun management.
  • Utility suppliers and ties into the plant have been identified with infrastructure costs allocated to those utilities. Other raw materials supply has been identified and priced into the internal economic model.
  • Public and private finance discussions to build the syndicate for the CAPEX (to be determined by the BFS) are ongoing including discussions with the industrial development bank of the Brazilian Government (BNDES).

Brian Leeners, CEO of Homerun stated, ‘Last year, Brazil passed Germany to move into third place for global annual installed capacity of solar modules. The vast majority of these modules came into Brazil as imports. The domestic manufacturers have worked with the Brazilian Government to support the growth of the domestic industry through the newly implemented increase in tariffs on solar module imports. That plan is working to fuel both expansion and new solar module production capacity as Brazil moves toward the Government’s goal of transitioning solar module manufacturing to a new major Brazilian vertically integrated industrial base.’

VANCOUVER, BC TheNewswire – September 16, 2025 – Heritage Mining Ltd. (CSE: HML FRA: Y66) (‘ Heritage ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) is pleased to announce the results from its 2025 prospecting program at its Scattergood Project (‘Scattergood’) (Figure 1, 2). The Company has confirmed surface gold mineralization in close proximity (~4.5km) to Dynasty Gold’s Pelham Deposit (Figure 2).

Scattergood Exploration Program Highlights:

  • Gold occurrence in combination with historical geophysics support early indication of similar geologic setting to the bordering Dynasty Gold Pelham Gold Deposit ~182,000oz at 1.37g/t Au (0.45 g/t Cut-Off) NI 43-101 report filed Jan 4, 2022 (Figure 2)

  • Coincident Mag and IP chargeability anomalies (500m by 200m) similar to Dynasty Gold Pelham Gold Deposit, NI 43-101 report filed Jan 4, 2022 (Figure 2)

  • Heritage is planning a broad spaced geochemical orientation program for immediate follow up (Figure 2).

‘We are very pleased with the initial exploration results from our Scattergood Project. The Heritage Exploration Team has newly identified surface gold mineralization through prospecting within ~4.5km from a known gold deposit Dynasty Golds, Pelham Deposit. This new discovery is important due to its proximity to the Pelham Deposit, we plan to aggressively evaluate the potential of this area. We look forward to further developing this gold target and providing additional updates on our Ontario Project Portfolio in short order.’ Commented Peter Schloo, President, CEO and Director of Heritage

Scattergood Project

The Scattergood Project totaling ~6,397Ha straddles the lower segment of Wapageisi group volcanic rock and felsic intrusive bodies including the Taylor Lake Stock, Meggisi Pluton, and Scattergood Lake stock as well as numerous late stage minor intrusives. Structurally, the project is complex with the north-northeast trending Taylor Lake Fault and Trout River deformation zone running through parts of the property. Please refer to June 3, 2024 press release for further details.

Discussion of Exploration Potential

The Company undertook a prospecting sampling program over a two-week period collecting 70 rock chip samples from outcrop.

The northeastern Scattergood Project Area displays the following characteristics:

  • Primary structural control: north-south trending structural corridor; regional, crustal-scale. Interpreted primary ‘highway’ for regional fluid flow (Figure 2).

  • Secondary structural control: east west trending deformation zone; hosts gold mineralization within the n-s corridor (Figure 2).

  • Geophysical signature: magnetic and chargeability (IP) highs. Useful for targeting gold mineralization, as these geophysical anomalies can be linked to sulfide and biotite-magnetite alteration (Figure 2).

Conclusion

Initial 2025 prospecting at the Scattergood Project has identified gold mineralization associated with a strong magnetic anomaly and coincident IP chargeability anomaly. A desktop and field review has confirmed structural complexity within the project area. A broad spaced geochemical soil and till orientation program is proposed for immediate follow up.

The injury-plagued Indiana Fever have been resilient all season long, but the Fever find themselves with their backs are against the wall yet again.

The No. 6 seed Fever dropped Game 1 against the No. 3 seed Atlanta Dream 80-68, despite a 27-point performance from veteran guard Kelsey Mitchell. The Fever now must win Game 2 of the best-of-three first-round WNBA playoff series on Tuesday to keep their Cinderella season alive.

‘We shot ourselves in the foot and weren’t able to capitalize on the things that make us great,’ Mitchell said after the Game 1 loss. ‘We hurt ourselves in a lot of different areas that impact being able to make plays and do what we wanted on the offensive end. Once we stop doing that, we give ourselves more of a chance to be who we are.’

It wasn’t a particularly great shooting night for either team. The Fever were held to 34.9% from the field and 2-of-15 from beyond the arc, compared to Atlanta going 38.6% from the field with seven made 3s.
