The Golden State Valkyries secured the No. 2 seed in the WNBA playoffs with a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback against the Los Angeles Sparks. Heading into the regular season finale, the Valkyries were favored but struggled early, falling behind by double digits. Nneka Ogwumike, a key player for the Sparks, put on a spectacular performance, finishing with 17 points and 13 rebounds.
However, the Valkyries staged an incredible rally in the final quarter, fueled by Kaitlyn Chen's scoring and Gabby Williams' clutch playmaking. Williams, who had a slow start, emerged as the hero, scoring eight points in just 69 seconds to seal the victory. The Golden State Valkyries will face the Dallas Wings in the first-round playoff series, beginning Sunday at Chase Center.
