It’s all come down to this: the No. 2 Valkyries and No. 4 Dream are locked at three wins each, forcing a winner-take-all Game 7 in the WNBA Finals. After a postseason packed with drama and fierce competition, fans are getting ready to crown a brand-new champion, as either franchise will be hoisting their first-ever trophy.
An Unforgettable Road to the Finals
These two teams absolutely earned their spots here. Both the Valkyries and the Dream swept strong veteran squads on their way, with Golden State dispatching the defending champion Aces 3-0 in the semifinals. Atlanta wasn’t messing around either, knocking out the Liberty in a dominant 3-0 sweep of their own.
The Valkyries, an expansion team, are on the cusp of making history. Imagine, winning a championship in just their second season! But the Dream are not making it easy. They’re riding a ridiculous franchise-best 10-game winning streak, and they’ve shown zero signs of slowing down.
Every Game a Battle: How We Got Here
This series has been a back-and-forth slugfest, truly a best-of-seven classic. Golden State snagged Game 1 on their home court, winning 68-64. But Atlanta punched back hard, taking Game 2, 79-65, before heading home to Atlanta for two games.
The Dream continued their momentum, dominating Game 3 with a 97-71 victory, putting the Valkyries on the ropes. But Golden State refused to quit, pulling out a crucial 67-62 win in Game 4 to tie things up. Back in Golden State for Game 5, the Valkyries found their rhythm again, taking it 64-55 and grabbing the series lead. Then, just yesterday, the Dream fired back with an 80-69 victory in Atlanta for Game 6, pushing us to this ultimate showdown.
Now, it’s all on the line. Game 7 is set for Saturday, October 31, at 8 p.m. ET, hosted by the Valkyries in Golden State. You absolutely cannot miss this one! Tune in on USA Network or DIRECTV, with Fubo also an option for cord-cutters. Who’s gonna etch their name in the history books and lift that trophy? This is it, folks, pure championship basketball!
