The Dallas Wings had to come back from a 20-point deficit in Game 1 of their first-round series against the Atlanta Dream, but had no such trouble in Game 2 on Tuesday night. After taking the lead for good in the middle of the second quarter, the Wings cruised to a 101-74 win, their largest in franchise playoff history, to complete a two-game sweep.
This was the first playoff series win for the Wings since 2009, back when they still played in Detroit. In the decade-plus since then, they made the playoffs just five times and won a grand total of one game. Now, they are on to face the defending champions and No. 1 overall seed Las Vegas Aces in the semifinals. Game 1 of that series is set for Sunday in the desert.
