Atlanta Dream leading 2-1 into WNBA Finals Game 4
The Golden State Valkyries are still confident. Trailing 2-1 in the best-of-seven WNBA Finals against Atlanta, they know a win on Saturday will give them back home-court advantage with a trip to “Ballhalla” awaiting.
Atlanta, Georgia - October 21, 2026 - The Golden State Valkyries find themselves in a precarious spot as they trail 2-1 in the best-of-seven WNBA Finals against the Atlanta Dream. With a victory in Game 4 on Saturday, the Valkyries would regain home-court advantage for the next match at the historic "Ballhalla" arena. Despite trailing, Valkyries guard Veronica Burton urged her team not to overreact, emphasizing the need to address their own shortcomings in discipline and focus.
The Valkyries' recent 27-point loss to the Dream in Game 3 serves as a stark reminder of the challenges they face. In the short history of a best-of-seven WNBA Finals, only the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers have managed to overcome a 3-1 deficit.
