The Golden State Valkyries moved within one win of a championship in their second season. They beat the Atlanta Dream 64-55 in Game 5 of the WNBA Finals on Monday night. CNN, the Los Angeles Times, and the New York Post reported the result from Chase Center.

Kiah Stokes had 13 points, eight rebounds, and three blocked shots. Angel Reese finished with seven points, 15 rebounds, and five assists for Atlanta. Leading scorer Gabby Williams struggled to find her shooting touch. Golden State leaned on depth that coach Natalie Nakase has praised all season.

Fans cheered Stokes as she spoke from the floor after the buzzer. She said the team has one more win to get. Game 6 shifts to Atlanta. A Valkyries win there would clinch the title. A Dream win would force Game 7.

The series has swung on defense and rebounding as much as star scoring. Golden State held Atlanta to 55 points in a grind. Dream coach and players said they still believed at home.

What we know: Golden State leads the finals and needs one more win after Game 5.
What we don't: Whether Atlanta can force a seventh game on its home floor.
