“Championship Experience Is Going to Give Atlanta a Different Kind of Boost”: Gabby Williams Singles Out DeWanna Bonner’s Impact Ahead of WNBA Finals

The Atlanta Dream’s championship aspirations are getting a major lift from the experience of forward DeWanna Bonner, whose leadership and production have transformed the team’s playoff run. Golden State Valkyries guard Gabby Williams highlighted Bonner’s impact ahead of the WNBA Finals, noting her veteran presence and championship pedigree—Bonner holds the league record for most playoff appearances—could shift momentum in Atlanta’s favor.

The Dream are now 10-0 with Bonner on the floor, including a perfect 5-0 playoff record, while she’s averaging 13.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. Analysts, including WNBA Today’s Natalie Esquire, have pointed to Bonner as the key to Atlanta’s half-court improvements and ability to overcome adversity, such as the loss of Allisha Gray in the semifinals.

With both teams known for their defensive prowess, Bonner’s blend of scoring, rebounding, and locker-room influence could be the deciding factor in a tightly contested series.
