Valkyries fans will love Kelsey Plum’s Gabby Williams take

The Golden State Valkyries are on the brink of their first WNBA championship after securing a 68-64 victory in Game 1 of the Finals against the Atlanta Dream. Despite both teams struggling from the field, the Valkyries capitalized on key moments to take the lead, with guard Gabby Williams delivering a standout performance.

Williams finished with 26 points on 8-of-22 shooting, showcasing her ability to create and make tough shots—a skill that has become crucial for a team now just three wins away from history. Her impact has been transformative since joining the franchise this offseason, elevating the Valkyries from a playoff contender to a title favorite.

Two-time WNBA champion Kelsey Plum has long recognized Williams’ potential, even before her breakout role with the Seattle Storm. Plum praised Williams’ consistency and versatility, noting how her offensive workload has expanded in the playoffs, where she averages 23.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game.

Head coach Natalie Nakase has clearly trusted Williams with greater responsibility, and her response in the Finals suggests she is more than ready to lead the charge toward a championship.
