The WNBA Finals move back to the Bay Area for Game 5.
Players from both the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries were locked into the matchup.
Several players went for more relaxed looks, including the always fashion-forward Angel Reese. The Dream star still made a statement with her outfit, even if it wasn't a sartorial one.
But Valkyries guard Kaitlyn Chen went outside of her comfort zone and actually did wear something more stylish than her go-to gameday look.
En Vogue graced fans at Ballhalla with their presence for the halftime show. The Oakland-based trio looked glamorous in matching black outfits that had long scarves hanging off the shoulders.
Here's the best looks of WNBA Finals Game 5:
Kaitlyn Chen
Kaitlyn Chen dressed up! The guard almost always
wears her sweats to games, but looked super fly in dark red leather pants and a black corset top.
Rhyne Howard
Rhyne Howard had fans hyped with her look. She wore a white T-shirt with a simple quote, "And I took that personally." It's a Michael Jordan saying from his documentary "The Last Dance" and showed how she's locked into the competition. She finished the outfit with black Jordan XIs to pay further tribute to the GOAT.

Jordin Canada
Jordin Canada also had her game face on in with a sweatsuit from the WNBA's collaboration from Fear of God's Essentials. She wore a bandana around her head and a pair of Jordan sneakers for some flair.

Kaila Charles
Kaila Charles repped her team with a woven jacket that featured nods to the Bay Area like a purple Golden Gate Bridge. The back had an image of her Valkyries teammates balling out at Ballhalla.

Angel Reese
Angel Reese put aside her high fashion looks to make a different type of statement. Her all black outfit was centered around a T-shirt that said "Protect Black Women."
Tiffany Hayes
Tiffany Hayes paid tribute to another great, Muhammad Ali. She wore a green varsity jacket that had different motifs from the boxing legend's life and career on it. She completed the stylish look with flowing cropped khaki pants (are gauchos back?!) and a classic pair of Timbs.

Brionna Jones
Brionna Jones was fantastic in a look that focused on prints. Her khaki jacket and black trousers were fairly simple, but her polka dot tie and zebra print heels were elite.
