The Golden State Valkyries secured a 68-64 victory over the Atlanta Dream in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals on 17 October, despite shooting only 32.1%. The Valkyries managed to shut down the Dream in the final moments to claim the win.

This result continues the Valkyries' strong run, as they sit second in the WNBA standings with 32 wins and 12 losses from 44 games, holding a goal difference of +310. Their recent form includes five consecutive wins, culminating in this tight finals victory.

The Atlanta Dream remain top of the league with 30 wins and 14 losses, and a goal difference of +302. Their form has been solid with four wins in their last five games, but this loss in the opening final game puts pressure on them to respond.
