    Gabby Williams Takes OVER! Valkyries Beat Dream in Game 7 to Win the WNBA Championship

    The Golden State Valkyries are WNBA champions, and Gabby Williams just had the best second half in Finals history. Trysta and Sarah react to the Valkyries’ Game 7 win over the Dream.

Then they get into where Atlanta slipped, including Angel Reese’s seven shots, Karl Smesko’s late-game rotations and the wasted time on contested threes, plus Natalie Nakase’s coaching masterclass. Plus, what each team needs this offseason, Tiffany Hayes’ likely farewell, the Fever’s new assistant GM, the future of the Houston Comets’ coaching staff, the Sparks’ eyebrow-raising scout hire and why Angel Reese made Finals history even in a loss.

    The Dream shot 75% from three in the first quarter, forced a Game 7 and left the league one win away from its biggest possible storyline.  Trysta and Sarah react to Atlanta’s Finals Game 6 blowout of the Valkyries, starting with Allisha Gray’s 23-point, 3-block bounce-back while playing through a finger injury. They dig into Rhyne Howard’s big threes, Angel Reese’s 14 rebounds, and how she held Kiah Stokes scoreless. Then they debate Golden State’s 9:30 a.m. start time, the cross-country travel, and how tired both teams will be for Game 7.

Plus, the hosts react to Reese and Karl Smesko’s postgame comments, Nakase’s candid explanation of how listening to her players changed the series, and the Game 6 scheduling mess.
