Overview
- The Golden State Valkyries won 67-62 on Saturday to even the 2026 WNBA Finals at 2-2, reclaiming home-court momentum before Game 5 in San Francisco.
- Golden State held Angel Reese to eight points on 2-of-12 shooting, ending her run of double-doubles and disrupting the Dream's interior game.
- Kiah Stokes anchored the Valkyries' defense with 16 rebounds and three blocks and now has a Finals record 14 blocks through four games.
- Coach Natalie Nakase's starting lineup change, which added Tiffany Hayes and Kaila Charles, helped increase ball pressure and led Golden State to force 17 Atlanta turnovers.
- Off the court the WNBA named Angel Reese and Rhyne Howard to the All-WNBA Second Team and coverage of Reese's rising profile has produced loud media reaction even as Atlanta must fix turnovers, three-point shooting and missed free throws to stay competitive.
