The Shock defeated the Atlanta Dream tonight to advance to the WNBA's Eastern Conference Finals for the fourth straight season. Their opponent is to be determined, and Game 1 will be played at the home site of the lower seed on Sept. 23.
Guard Deanna Nolan returned after suffering a concussion towards the end of Game 1. It's also possible Detroit will get small forward Katie Smith back from injury in time for the second round of postseason play.
