  "account": "The Atlanta Dream mounted a stunning comeback in a 80-69 victory over the Golden State Valkyries in Game 6 of the WNBA Finals, forcing the series into a decisive Game 7 at Chase Center. The Dream dominated early, leading by 17 points after the first quarter, the largest lead in Finals history. They shot 58.6% overall and 57.1% from three, finishing with 43% from both areas. The Valkyries, shooting just 21.9% from the field and 25% from three by halftime, struggled defensively, forcing tough shots and missing open ones. Charles led the Valkyries with 25 points, while Williams added 35. The Dream's Anthony Reagan was named the playoff MVP for the second consecutive year.",
  "summary": "With an early weekday tipoff due to Atlanta's scheduling snafu, the Golden State Valkyries gave up 32 points in the first quarter and the Dream cruised to an 80-69 Game 6 win Thursday.",
