New York with perfect play-off start

This means that main round winner New York is now just one win away from reaching the semifinals in the best-of-three quarterfinal series. Game two will take place on Wednesday night.

Nyara Sabally’s older sister Satou, on the other hand, has to watch the play-offs. Germany’s star player finished the season with the Dallas Wings in eleventh place, second to last in the twelve-team league. The chance of making the play-offs had already passed a few weeks ago. The 26-year-old was only able to take part in the US professional league season after the Olympics, following a long injury break.
