You can build a new arena with all the bricks that's been shot in this game. My god 🥴 #WNBA

Steve Kerr would love this stat: Valkyries 6 turnovers Dream 15

I honestly have no hope for this series anymore and I honestly don't even feel like making a recap video. The Valkyries are playing well, but they are also getting away with fouling the best player on the Dream without a fear of getting calls. This just isn't fun. #wnba #thew #dream #valkyries

So far this seems like the Valkyries have all of the momentum. Atlanta better wake up! #WNBA

The Golden State Valkyries are one win away from the franchise's first WNBA title after beating the Atlanta Dream 64-55 in Game 5. They take a 3-2 series lead to Atlanta for what could potentially be a matinee championship clinching game.

This will be forever be known as the KIAH MOTHERFUCKING STOKES GAME! One more win! Go Valks!!! #Valkyries #Ballhalla #WNBAFinals

Offensive numbers are almost too horrendous to bother breaking down the many, many records they're threatening if this pace continues. One example: Atlanta's 23.5% from the field would be the 10th-worst field goal percentage by any team in any WNBA game, playoff or regular season, all-time. #WNBA

High scorin’ No you’re never gonna get it High scorin’ Never ever gonna get it Oooooooooo Block! #WNBA

Holding the Dream to 55 points is wild. Wow. #GSV #Valkyries

We are not commending ourselves to you but are giving you an opportunity to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast in offensive stat sheets and not in the heart. -Natalie Nakase, a sicko, answers all y’all side-eyeing the score, quoted in 2 Corinthians 5:12 #WNBA

Atlanta not taking both their wins at home was a huge mistake. HUGE. #WNBA #WNBAFINALS
