WNBA Finals Game 7 live updates, analysis and highlights

SAN FRANCISCO -- It all comes down to this: The first Game 7 in WNBA Finals history will decide a first-time champion.

The No. 2 seed Golden State Valkyries host the No. 4 Atlanta Dream at 8 p.m. ET Saturday as both teams seek their first WNBA title in franchise history.

The series returns to Chase Center on Halloween for the decisive game. Golden State is 2-1 at Ballhalla this series, most recently winning Game 5 here Monday night. The Dream responded with an emphatic Game 6 victory in Atlanta on Thursday afternoon to force the series to go the distance.

The WNBA moved to a best-of-seven format for the Finals last season, but Las Vegas won in a sweep.

ESPN is courtside Saturday. Michael Voepel, Alexa Philippou and Kendra Andrews will provide live analysis and highlights throughout the game.
