The Atlanta Dream beat the Golden State Valkyries 80-69 on October 30, 2026, in Game 6 of the WNBA Finals, forcing a Game 7 in San Francisco. Angel Reese had 15 points, 14 rebounds and six assists, and her 78 rebounds in the Finals are the most in Finals history. The discussion now centers on the first Game 7 in WNBA history under the seven-game format, with home teams 11-2 in winner-take-all finals and Golden State 6-1 at home in these playoffs. Atlanta's turnovers and seven-player rotation against Golden State's nine remain the open question.
