Valkyries beat Dream to tie WNBA Finals, with Game 6 venue uncertain
Golden State beat Atlanta 67-62 in Game 4 of the WNBA Finals, tying the best-of-seven series at 2-2.
Gabby Williams led the Valkyries with 17 points, while Rhyne Howard scored 19 for the Dream.
Golden State held Angel Reese to eight points, helping limit Atlanta's attack after Reese had dominated the previous two games.
The series now moves to San Francisco for Game 5, with Game 6 scheduled to return to Atlanta.
State Farm Arena is booked for an Atlanta Hawks game on the same Thursday night, leaving the Finals game without a confirmed venue.
Atlanta's other home, Gateway Center Arena, seats 3,500, and the Dream have played their postseason games at State Farm Arena.
The teams need a venue or schedule change; moving the Hawks game to Friday is one possibility, but it would require approval from the teams, league and broadcast partners.
