Gabby Williams scored 17 points and Golden State Valkyries played stellar defense to beat Atlanta Dream 67-62 in Game 4 of the WNBA Finals on Saturday, levelling the best-of-seven series at 2-2.

The Valkyries stymied Atlanta star Angel Reese, holding her to just eight points. She had dominated the previous two games, averaging 25.5 points and 14 rebounds in Dream victories.

Reese struggled in Game 4, missing 10 of her 12 shots, including a few layups in the fourth quarter, after having double-doubles in each of the first three games.

The Dream trimmed a 16-point half-time deficit to 61-55 midway through the fourth quarter, bringing the home Atlanta fans in the sellout crowd of over 17,000 to their feet.

Golden State answered with a three-pointer by Veronica Burton to briefly silence them, before the Dream then scored seven of the next nine points, including a three-point play by Rhyne Howard with 28 seconds left to get within four at 66-62.

Burton then made the first of two free throws a second later and Atlanta couldn't recover.

Golden State players had said between the 26-point Game 3 loss and Game 4 that they were confident they could win on Saturday and just needed to be more physical and play harder. They showed precisely that grit on both ends of the court.

Kiah Stokes finished with three blocks and now has a WNBA Finals record of 14 in the four games, surpassing the old record of 12 by Brittney Griner and Sylvia Fowles.

Offensively, they limited turnovers, which had led to easy points for Atlanta in its two victories. The Valkyries also crashed the offensive boards, rebounding their own misses to give themselves more chances to score. Stokes had eight offensive rebounds from her total of 16.

Game 5 of the series is on Monday, with the two teams moving back to California for their next meeting.
