This WNBA Finals stat is good omen for Valkyries in Game 7 against Dream

The Golden State Valkyries missed an opportunity to clinch their inaugural championship in Game 6, falling 80-69 to the Atlanta Dream. This result forces a decisive Game 7 this Saturday at Chase Center.

Historically, the team holding homecourt advantage has emerged victorious in 11 of the 13 instances where a WNBA Finals series reached a seventh game. While the Valkyries hold a 6-1 home record during this postseason, their only loss at the venue came against the Dream earlier in this series.

Both franchises are currently seeking their first league title, with the Dream having previously appeared in the Finals in 2010, 2011, and 2013.
