The stakes have risen, and the Atlanta Dream must regroup after falling 67-62 to the Golden State Valkyries to even the WNBA Finals at two games apiece. <\/p>\n
The Dream played uncharacteristically in the first half, missing key free throws, committing 14 turnovers, and allowing the Valkyries to build confidence at the line.<\/p>\n
The game started with a defensive clinic, drawing 10 total fouls in the first quarter, half in the first few minutes. Atlanta\u2019s offense, however, struggled to get shots up, which boosted Golden State\u2019s momentum and helped it take a five-point lead (16-11) to end the quarter, forcing seven turnovers from the Dream.<\/p>\n
