Valkyries Hit Back Against Dream to Level WNBA Finals
Gabby Williams scored 17 points as Golden State’s defense held Angel Reese to eight and forced 9 turnovers in a series-tying win, officials said.
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, the Golden State Valkyries defeated the Atlanta Dream 67-62 at State Farm Arena, tying the WNBA Finals at 2-2 with Gabby Williams scoring 17 points.
WNBA Coach Natalie Nakase changed her starting lineup for the first time this postseason, inserting Tiffany Hayes and Kaila Charles for Kayla Thornton and Cecilia Zandalasini after consecutive losses.
Center Kiah Stokes set a WNBA Finals record with 14 blocks across four games, while the Valkyries forced 18 turnovers and limited Angel Reese to just eight points.
Game 5 is scheduled for Monday at 5 p.m. PDT at Chase Center, where Golden State will attempt to retake the series lead as the best-of-seven shifts to California.
The series could extend to a Game 7 on Halloween if the teams split remaining games; Atlanta had dominated third quarters in the first three contests, making the Valkyries' defensive adjustment crucial.
