Golden State Valkyries captured their first WNBA championship on Sunday, defeating the Atlanta Dream in a decisive Game 7 behind a 30-point performance from Gabby Williams. The victory came in just the franchise's second season, capping a grueling seven-game series.
Williams' scoring outburst powered the Valkyries to the historic title, making Golden State the league's newest champion. The series went the distance, with both teams trading wins before the Valkyries prevailed on the road.
The championship marks a rapid rise for the expansion franchise, which reached the pinnacle in only its second year of existence. Kari Anderson contributed to this report.
