Gabby Williams led the Golden State Valkyries to their first WNBA championship in just the franchise's second season, as they defeated the Atlanta Dream 68-63 in a decisive Game 7 of the 2026 WNBA Finals.
The clinching victory came on October 31, 2026, at Chase Center in San Francisco. Kayla Thornton, wearing number 5, was seen huddling with teammates in celebration after the final buzzer.
The Valkyries' triumph marks a rapid rise for the expansion team, which captured the title only two years after joining the league.
