Steve Kerr Predicts Intense WNBA Finals Game 7

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr anticipates a fierce contest in Game 7 of the WNBA Finals between the Valkyries and the Dream, drawing parallels to high-stakes playoff situations he has experienced.

"There’s the pressure that comes with the Game 7 itself and it just turns into a street fight. That’s what I would expect," Kerr said on KNBR, referencing his own team's experience in the 2016 NBA Finals where they lost after leading the series 3-1.

The upcoming Game 7 marks a historic first for the WNBA and has generated significant anticipation, becoming the league's most expensive game ever. The Atlanta Dream forced the decisive game by securing a crucial victory on their home court.

The Golden State Valkyries will host the Dream at the Chase Center on Saturday. The Warriors organization has shown considerable support for the Valkyries throughout their championship run, a testament to the shared ownership under Joe Lacob, who has invested in building successful teams across both franchises.
