Valkyries’ Gabby Williams passes A’ja Wilson for all-time WNBA Finals scoring record

Golden State’s Gabby Williams cemented her place in WNBA history by surpassing A’ja Wilson’s all-time Finals scoring record with a dominant 137-point series. The Valkyries’ star delivered a career-defining performance in Game 7, scoring 30 points—including a 28-point second-half explosion—to lead her team to a 68-63 victory over the Atlanta Dream.

Williams averaged 19.6 points per game across the series, while also contributing 3.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 2.6 steals, showcasing her versatility as a two-way force. Despite a sluggish start—Golden State trailed by six points at halftime—Williams took over in the second half, including a nine-point stretch in the fourth quarter to secure the lead.

The Dream, led by Angel Reese, remained competitive until Williams’ late-game surge, which silenced the home crowd at Chase Center. With this achievement, Williams not only broke Wilson’s previous record of 114 points in a Finals run but also delivered one of the most iconic individual performances in league history.
