Steve Kerr expects Valkyries-Dream WNBA Finals Game 7 to be a ‘street fight’

Steve Kerr is very familiar with Game 7’s.

The Warriors head coach witnessed his team fall short of an NBA championship after leading the 2016 Finals 3-1. Kerr weighed in on what the upcoming matchup means for the Valkyries as the team takes on the Dream in first-ever Game 7 in WNBA history.

“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.

Golden State welcomes back the Dream at the Chase Center on Saturday for the highly-touted Game 7, which is poised to be the league’s most expensive game of all time. Atlanta kept its season alive with a strong performance Thursday at State Farm Arena.

Now, the two WNBA squads will square off on Halloween with its own moments of spooky and scary.

The Warriors have shown immense support for the Valkyries throughout their historic 2026 run. The franchises share owner, Joe Lacob, has invested much into both organizations to create winning teams.

The Valkyries have the chance to be Lacob’s latest championship success.
