The Atlanta Dream stormed past the Golden State Valkyries 80-69 in Game 6 of the WNBA Finals on Thursday, feeding off a flood of Golden State turnovers to extend the series, according to Yahoo Sports. The Dream jumped out early, with the Valkyries surrendering 32 points in the first quarter of a matinee tipoff that was moved up due to a scheduling conflict in Atlanta.
Angel Reese set a WNBA Finals record during the win, according to Yahoo Sports, powering Atlanta to its first Finals appearance since the game shifted to San Francisco for the series finale. The victory forces the first Game 7 in WNBA Finals history, per Yahoo Sports.
According to Sporting News, Atlanta now heads into the winner-take-all matchup on the road at Golden State's arena, nicknamed Ballhalla by Valkyries fans, looking to complete the comeback and capture the franchise's first championship.
