Who won WNBA Finals MVP?
Gabby Williams took home WNBA Finals MVP honors, securing the latest in a string of individual accolades after shining across the seven-game set.
The Valkyries standout was Golden State's best player for much of the series, leading the team in points while helping anchor a Valkyries defense that regularly frustrated the Dream's best players.
She was at her best in Game 7, pacing Golden State with timely baskets and her signature defensive prowess. She started slowly, producing just two points in the first 20 minutes. In the next 20, she produced a famous showing that will live long in WNBA lore.
The Valkyries standout scored a Finals record 28 second-half points, nearly equaling Atlanta's tally on her own. Fueled by her offensive onslaught, Golden State turned things around, rallying from seven down to hoist the title.
