In a hard-fought game, the Golden State Valkyries fell to the Atlanta Dream in Game 3 of the Women’s National Basketball Association Finals.
But fans who traveled to Atlanta from the Bay Area and beyond said the loss wouldn’t prevent the team, now down 2-1, from winning the best-of-seven series.
The team lost 97-71, but the brutal final score obscured how close the game was at certain points — including briefly tying it up just after halftime.
Both teams came to Wednesday’s high-stakes game in Atlanta with a win under their belts. The Valkyries took Game 1 68-64 in a nail-biter at San Francisco’s Chase Center last week, but fell to the Dream 79-65 on Monday in Game 2 of the playoff series.
In spite of the loss, the number of fans in Atlanta reflected the pride and passion the Valkyries have inspired.
