ATLANTA -- Allisha Gray scored 23 points and Rhyne Howard had 21 as the hot-shooting Atlanta Dream held off Golden State's late rally to take an 80-69 victory over the Valkyries in Game 6 on Thursday to pull even in the WNBA Finals.

The first Game 7 in WNBA Finals history will be played at Golden State on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET as each team seeks its first WNBA championship.

After having their lowest scoring games of the Finals in losses in Games 4 and 5, the Dream enjoyed an offensive awakening when faced with the must-win.

Angel Reese recorded a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds for Atlanta. Gabby Williams led the Valkyries with 26 points.…
