The Golden State Valkyries failed to secure a 2-0 series lead in the WNBA Finals, dropping Game 2 to the Atlanta Dream, 79-65, at Chase Center on Monday. The home team dug itself into a 21-point hole early in the contest, a deficit that proved insurmountable despite a spirited fourth-quarter rally. With the best-of-seven series now tied at 1-1, the momentum has shifted back to Atlanta, setting the stage for a critical Game 3.
Warriors star offers words of encouragement as Valkyries fall to Dream in Game 2
As the Valkyries walked off the court in dejection, cameras captured a poignant moment between Golden State Warriors icon Stephen Curry and team forward Gabby Williams. Curry was seen shouting words of encouragement to Williams, who struggled significantly in the loss. The two-time All-Star finished with 14 points, two rebounds, and four steals in 27 minutes but shot just 3-of-15 from the field while committing four turnovers.
This performance marked a sharp contrast to Williams’ heroic outing in Game 1, where she tallied 26 points, four rebounds, and two assists to help Golden State take the opening win. Curry’s visible support underscores the deep familial and professional ties within the organization, as the Valkyries look to bounce back and regain home-court advantage in the next installment of the championship series.
