Also in Weekend Reflections: Inconsistent offense is problem for Falcons, and Georgia Tech is good at nothing.

The Dream were so close to clutching the WNBA championship trophy that they could almost taste the Champagne.

The Valkyries left State Farm Arena with some momentum after they were much better in the second half of Game 6.

Victory at State Farm Arena sets up winner-take-all game in San Francisco.

The Falcons made me look foolish for siding against them last weekend. Georgia Tech made me look goofy for siding with them.

The Dream face elimination in the best-of-seven series after the Valkyries came back from two consecutive losses to win two games in a row.

Also: Georgia Tech’s defense is below Power Four standards and the SEC could feel the College Football Playoff squeeze.

Despite the Hawks' offseason aquisitions meant to bolser the defense, the Rockets encountered little resistance at the rim and scored 22 points after offensive rebounds.

Georgia Tech is seeking a win against ex-Yellow Jackets offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, now the head coach at Boston College.

It’s clear the Dream are the better team in the WNBA Finals. That doesn’t mean they’ll win the championship. It does mean the Valkyries will have to take it from them.
