A new champion will be crowned this season. The No. 2 seed Golden State Valkyries and No. 4 Atlanta Dream both seek their first championship as they meet in the WNBA Finals, a best-of-seven series.
As the higher seed, Golden State will host Games 5 and, if necessary, 7 in a 2-2-1-1-1 format.
The Valkyries won Game 4 in Atlanta on Saturday, and the series now returns to San Francisco even at two games apiece.
