| Skinny: When she was suited up for the Storm last season, Lennox was key to Seattle's sweep over the Liberty in the two-game series ... With Lennox in Atlanta's backcourt on Wednesday, New York will have to turn up its defensive pressure, while exploiting Atlanta on the other end of the floor ... The Dream is statistically the worst defensive team in the league ...
