The Atlanta Dream host Game 3 of the WNBA Finals on Wednesday, two days after clinching their first championship series win in franchise history. The No. 4 seed Dream upended the No. 2 Golden State Valkyries on Monday at Chase Center to tie the best-of-seven series at 1-1.
Atlanta now hosts the next two games before the Finals return to San Francisco for Game 5 on Monday. State Farm Arena, which seats more than 17,000 fans, is expected to be a sellout Wednesday. The Dream have played all of their playoff games there this postseason, along with six regular-season games.
In Game 2, a 79-65 Atlanta win, Angel Reese had 30 points and 16 rebounds. In Game 1, defense and Gabby Williams' 26 points led Golden State to a 68-64 victory. Both teams are seeking their first WNBA championship. Atlanta has played in three previous Finals but was swept in each appearance, while Golden State is making its first trip to the Finals in just its second season.
ESPN will be courtside and providing live analysis throughout Game 3.
