The 2026 WNBA Finals are heating up. The Valkyries and Dream will head to Atlanta for Game 2 on Monday night.

The Valkyries hosted Game 1 in the Bay Area, pulling off a narrow 68-64 win in a defensive shootout between the two teams. Gabby Williams led the offense for the Valks, contributing 26 total points and four crucial free throws to seal the deal in the fourth quarter. Can Golden State apply the same pressure for Game 2?

Atlanta will look to even out the series with a strong performance on Monday. The Dream had an airtight defense in their Finals debut, but struggled more on offense with several key shots missed in the final moments of the game. Allisha Gray still had a strong game despite managing a hand injury, adding 19 points and 6 rebounds to the board.

Can Atlanta bounce back, or will Golden State go up 2-0?
