Golden State could’ve easily been down 3-0 in the WNBA Finals following Wednesday’s 97-71 blowout loss in Atlanta. The Valkyries rallied late in Game 1 before a pair of double-digit defeats in Games 2 and 3.

However, the team owning the league’s second-best regular season record built a 16-point halftime advantage in Game 4 and held off a late rally for the 5-point victory. 

Golden State shot a series-low 42.8% on effective field goal percentage (eFG%) but also limited Atlanta to 4-of-23 from 3-point range.

The Valkyries also forced a series-high 25.0% turnover rate from the Dream, who turned the ball over 18 times in Game 4. Golden State F Gabby Williams scored a team-high 17 points on 7-of-21 shooting while failing to hit a 3-pointer for the first time in the series.

Dream F Angel Reese was limited to her lowest scoring output of the postseason with 8 points on 2-of-12 shooting. Reese also didn’t reach double-digit rebounds for the first time in the WNBA Finals, closing with 9 boards.

Tonight’s total of 148.5 is the lowest of the entire series after Game 4’s total closed at 153.5 and finished with 129 points.
