Dream’s Jordin Canada sets WNBA Finals career-high in scoring vs. Valkyries

November 1, 2026

The Atlanta Dream’s Jordin Canada delivered a career-defining performance in Game 7 of the WNBA Finals, scoring a season-high 16 points to lead her team against the Golden State Valkyries. Canada, who had struggled in earlier games of the series, reached the milestone in just three quarters, marking a pivotal moment as the Dream fought to extend the championship matchup.

Despite her strong start, the Valkyries held a narrow 45-44 lead heading into the final period, with Gabby Williams leading Golden State’s offense at 17 points. The Dream’s other stars, including Angel Reese and Allisha Gray, have yet to find their rhythm in this decisive game, with Reese at seven points and Gray still searching for consistency after her 23-point outburst in Game 6.

Canada’s resurgence comes after a dominant series against the New York Liberty, where she averaged 22.3 points per game and shot over 60% from the field, guiding Atlanta to a sweep. The Dream’s ability to rely on Canada’s clutch scoring will be critical as they look to force a Game 8 in their quest for the championship.
