Dream guard Jordin Canada was an absolute dawg against the Liberty, owning the series from the first tip. In three games, Canada averaged 22.3 points on 62.3%, 7.6 assists, three rebounds and two steals. She punctuated her amazing semifinals run with a 19-point double-double which included 11 assists. She became the third player in WNBA history to record at least 11 assists with zero turnovers in a playoff series-clinching game. Canada joins Cynthia Cooper and Diana Taurasi as the only players to achieve this milestone.
"When I went in the huddle, I said we're gonna have to earn it. This is a really good (Liberty) team. ...They're going to fight 'til the end. And so, we just got to want it more. We got to bring that energy. We gotta play Atlanta Dream basketball," Canada said of the Dream being down two to enter the fourth quarter.
"We did an exceptional job of getting stops when we needed (them) most, getting timely buckets when we needed it most, and just being poised and composed in that moment. And I know that also starts with me."
