Valkyries rally past Wings in Game 3 to advance to WNBA semifinals
The Golden State Valkyries defeated the Dallas Wings 77-73 in Game 3 to advance to the WNBA semifinals. Gabby Williams led the rally with 19 points, overcoming a 16-point deficit to secure the franchise's first-ever playoff series win.
Why it matters
This victory marks a significant milestone for the expansion franchise as they move on to face the defending champion Las Vegas Aces.
Gabby Williams scored 19 points and hit a go-ahead 17-footer with 1:17 remaining, and the Golden State Valkyries won a late replay review to finish a rally from 16 points down and beat the Dallas Wings 77-73 on Friday night in a wild deciding Game 3 of their first-round WNBA playoff series.With 13.1 seconds left and Golden State leading by one, Williams jumped back inbounds to corral her own miss on a play that was originally ruled Dallas' ball, but Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase — who moments earlier had fallen to her knees on the sideline before being helped up — successfully challenged the call.
