The Golden State Valkyries continue to defy expectations, as the team will once again compete in the playoffs after debuting last season.
This time, however, they're headed to the WNBA Finals for the first time. They will face the Dream for all the marbles, neither squad losing a game yet this postseason. Who will make history?
This team thrived all thanks to the efforts of Veronica Burton, Kayla Thornton and new star Gabby Williams. Meanwhile, Janelle Salaun is making an impact off the bench.
