Raleigh Durham, NC, October 26, 2026 —
Kiah Stokes’ contributions in points, rebounds and blocks helped the Golden State Valkyries defeat the Atlanta Dream 64-55 in Game 5 of the WNBA Finals in San Francisco. The victory leaves the Valkyries one win away from the championship, according to the information provided.
The result gives the Valkyries a chance to secure the title with one more win. The available account does not specify the series score, when or where another game would be played, or whether the next game is scheduled. It also does not provide Stokes’ individual totals in any of the three statistical categories.
The 64-55 final score indicates a nine-point margin. No quarter-by-quarter scoring, other leading players, or details about how the game unfolded were included in the summary, so the available information does not establish when the Valkyries took control or which plays proved decisive.
The account identifies Stokes’ work across scoring, rebounding and shot-blocking as a factor in the win, but does not provide figures that would quantify her performance. It likewise gives no additional statistics for either team. The game’s date and attendance were not provided.
For now, the reported takeaway is the result and its significance: Golden State beat Atlanta in the fifth game of the Finals and moved within one victory of the championship. Further details about the teams’ performances, the series schedule and Stokes’ individual statistics were not included in the source information.
