Quick Summary

Allisha Gray returned to action for the Atlanta Dream with 19 points after missing two games due to an injured finger, but her team still lost 68-64 to the Golden State Valkyries in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals on Saturday. Despite scoring early and showing no signs of injury initially, Gray struggled in the fourth quarter, going scoreless with a missed potential game-winning three-pointer late in the game. Her overall shooting for the night was poor, finishing at 5 for 19 from the field and missing seven out of eight attempts from beyond the arc.
