WNBA Playoff Race: Can the Indiana Fever’s Defense Hold Up? | Fever, Dream & Liberty Breakdown Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

The WNBA playoff race is heating up, and the Indiana Fever, Atlanta Dream and New York Liberty are all fighting for the best possible path to the championship.

The Fever have proven they can score with anyone, but can their defense become consistent enough to survive four rounds of playoff basketball? Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston give Indiana plenty of offensive firepower, but the real question is whether they can hold up against the league’s elite.

We also break down what the Atlanta Dream need to do to make a championship run, including Angel Reese’s dominance on the glass, Rhyne Howard’s ability to become a playoff closer, and why Atlanta’s defense could be their biggest advantage.

Plus, the New York Liberty are looking to climb into the top four behind Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones. With Satou Sabally out for the season, can the defending champions find enough depth and athleticism to make another run?
