49ers stars support Valkyries during WNBA playoff game vs Aces

The Golden State Valkyries extended their playoff momentum with a commanding 71-60 victory over the Las Vegas Aces in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series, taking a 1-0 lead at Chase Center. The Valkyries dominated the boards with a franchise-record 52 rebounds, while Gabby Williams delivered a standout performance with 25 points and strong defensive play, earning praise as the team’s best player.

Meanwhile, the Aces faced challenges as key players like A'ja Wilson struggled against Williams’ defensive pressure, though Las Vegas will look to even the series in Game 2 with a shortened roster due to injuries. The Valkyries’ path to the WNBA Finals also drew attention beyond basketball, as their success could impact local cultural events tied to a high-profile music figure based in the area.
