The Valkyries were down 30-24. They were shooting 30% from the field, and things were not looking good in Game 7.

Gabby Williams, who had netted 2 points on just four shots in her 15 minutes, came into the locker room with determination.

“Gabby was like, ‘I just gotta get going, we’re good,’” said point guard Veronica Burton, wearing the team’s new championship shirts in the back hallways of Chase Center. “And she clearly did that. Of course, once we’re rolling, it was over with. Honestly.”

Of her 30 points, 28 came in the second half, the most a player has ever had in WNBA history.

She scored 11 of those in the final three minutes of the third frame, including hitting three consecutive 3-point shots. Golden State led by one entering the fourth quarter from that run.

But Williams wasn’t done. Her legacy was still a quarter away from being fully cemented in Bay Area lore.

“I told her, I said, ‘Hey, this is your second half,’” Kayla Thornton said. “And once I saw her hit (a three) I said, ‘Oh, it’s a wrap. We about to eat, baby.’”
