Overview
- Golden State beat Atlanta 67-62 on Saturday to even the best-of-seven Finals at 2-2 and send the series back to the Chase Center for Game 5 on Monday.
- Center Kiah Stokes controlled the paint with 16 rebounds and extended her four-game Finals blocks total to a record 14, anchoring the Valkyries' rim protection.
- The Valkyries held Angel Reese to eight points on 2-of-12 shooting, a dramatic drop from her earlier double-double streak in the series.
- Golden State forced 17 Dream turnovers and scored heavily off takeaways while Atlanta shot about 33% from the field and missed nine free throws that cost them points.
- Coach Natalie Nakase's starting lineup change (Tiffany Hayes and Kaila Charles inserted) lifted energy and defense, and Atlanta now faces both on-court corrections and uncertainty about Game 6 arena logistics.
