Liberty make official inquiry into reset timeout dispute after overtime loss to Dream in WNBA semifinals

The New York Liberty have filed a formal inquiry with the WNBA following a 101-98 overtime loss to the Atlanta Dream in Game 2 of the semifinals. The dispute centers on whether game officials incorrectly informed the Liberty that they had no reset timeouts remaining in the final 4.3 seconds, which would have allowed them to advance the ball for a final shot. While officials maintain that a timeout was confirmed as available, Liberty players and staff claim they were told otherwise during the game. Atlanta now leads the best-of-five series 2-0.
