The Atlanta Dream have imposed their will defensively on Golden State in the WNBA Finals so far, using their size and strength to dominate the Valkyries. That’s helped them take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series with Game 4 on Saturday. Golden State has averaged only 68 points in the Finals — 14 below their regular season mark. After only forcing 10 turnovers in the Game 1 loss, Atlanta has turned up its pressure and that’s led to easy points off Golden State miscues. Rhyne Howard has had back-to-back games with at least five steals.
