What happened: The Golden State Valkyries travel to Atlanta on Saturday looking to extend their winning streak to four games. Golden State enters at 14-7 on the season, riding a three-game run, while the hosts sit at 13-9 and have dropped four in a row.
Why it matters: Golden State has taken both prior meetings this season and leads the season series 2-0, so the same Atlanta side that led the East in late June is now trying to stop a slide against a team it has yet to solve. The hosts are listed as 4.5-point favorites at home despite the recent skid.
By the numbers: Golden State is 14-7, scoring 82.5 points per game while allowing 77.8. Atlanta is 13-9, scoring 87.0 and allowing 83.4, but has lost four straight. In the two head-to-head meetings this season, Golden State won 77-66 on June 24 and 78-75 on June 26, both at home.
What to watch: Tip-off comes Saturday night in Atlanta, where the hosts will try to snap a four-game losing streak and Golden State goes for its fourth straight win.
