Yaxel Lendeborg congratulates Finals MVP and Valkyries star Gabby Williams after Game 7 win

The Golden State Valkyries captured the WNBA title in only their second season by defeating their opponents 68-63 in a tense Game 7 showdown at Chase Center. Golden State Warriors star Yaxel Lendeborg was spotted courtside to celebrate the historic victory, personally congratulating Finals MVP Gabby Williams and posing for photographs.

Williams delivered an astonishing performance to secure the championship, netting 30 points—with 28 coming during the second quarter alone—to lift her squad after a sluggish start that left them facing a ten-point halftime deficit. Despite getting limited offensive support from teammates Veronica Burton and Tiffany Hayes, Williams carried the scoring load through the second half to fend off the Atlanta Dream.
