Steve Kerr is very familiar with Game 7’s.

The Warriors head coach witnessed his team fall short of an NBA championship after leading the 2016 Finals 3-1. Kerr weighed in on what the upcoming matchup means for the Valkyries as the team takes on the Dream in first-ever Game 7 in WNBA history.

“There’s the pressure that comes with the Game 7 itself and it just turns into a street fight. That’s what I would expect,” Kerr said on KNBR.

Golden State welcomes back the Dream at the Chase Center on Saturday for the highly-touted Game 7, which is poised to be the league’s most expensive game of all time. Atlanta kept its season alive with a strong performance Thursday at State Farm Arena.
