The Golden State Valkyries evened the WNBA Finals at 2-2 with a win over the Dream in Game 4, according to Fox News. The outlet reported that the game followed bold pregame comments by Angel Reese, which the report said backfired on her.

Fox News reported that Reese "missed layup after layup" in the game, and its headline described her as struggling badly after the comments. The summary available for this report does not identify the specific remarks Reese made before the game, so their content cannot be confirmed from this account.

The same summary states that the result evened the Finals at 2-2. It does not give the final score, the number of games remaining in the series, or the statistics of other players, and it does not say where or when Game 4 was played.

The headline's wording, including the phrases bold comments and struggles badly, reflects how Fox News framed the story. Those characterizations are the outlet's own and have not been checked against other coverage.

The Dream and the Valkyries are the only teams named in the summary and headline. No other team, player, official, or source is identified in the material reviewed for this story, so the account rests on a single outlet.

The summary describes Game 4 as a Valkyries victory over the Dream, but it does not describe the margin of that victory, the progress of the game over its quarters, or any statement from either team.
