Game 4 is on the horizon. Do Gabby Williams and the Valkyries have a chance at coming back down 2-1? 👀 Tune in to hear Via @Winsidr on X

What happened: Following the Game 3 defeat, the same Gabby Williams who hit consecutive threes for the Valkyries in July addressed her teammates in a postgame huddle and admitted she had taken a too-casual 'we'll figure it out' approach. Golden State won the Finals opener before dropping the next two contests.

Why it matters: A loss in Game 4 would end the Valkyries' championship bid, while a victory forces a decisive finale. Tighter execution and vocal urgency from Williams give Golden State its clearest path to extending the series.

What to watch: Chase Center hosts Game 4 with the Valkyries attempting to even the WNBA Finals at two games apiece.
