What happened: Golden State is leaning on Gabby Williams, Tiffany Hayes, Kiah Stokes and Kaitlyn Chen during the WNBA Finals. Hayes moved into the starting lineup for Game 4 alongside Williams and Stokes.

Why it matters: Four contributors from one college program gives Golden State uncommon rotation continuity in a title series. That shared background connects the Finals push to a steady pro pipeline at the position groups Golden State needs most.

What to watch: Golden State continues the Finals series with the UConn group central to the rotation. Upcoming lineup calls will show how long all four stay together.
