Veronica Burton’s Physical Play, Officiating Controversy & More As Atlanta Dream Force Game 7

The Atlanta Dream watched their grip on the WNBA Finals slip away over the previous two games, but they weren’t ready to let their championship hopes end just yet. Facing elimination in Game 6, Angel Reese and Co. needed a response, and they delivered an 80-69 win that brought the series back to level and forced a decisive Game 7 against the Golden State Valkyries. The urgency was evident from the opening minute as Veronica Burton struck first with a 17-foot step-back jumper, only for Allisha Gray to answer with a three-pointer just 15 seconds later.
