The Golden State Valkyries are looking to jump out to a 2-0 series lead over the visiting Atlanta Dream in the 2026 WNBA Finals at Ballhalla, but it won’t be easy after a hardfought Game 1.
Ahead of Game 2, Valkyries star Gabby Williams paid tribute to the Bay Area, since Golden State won’t be the only local team in action.
While the Valkyries are facing off against Angel Reese and the Dream at the Chase Center, the San Francisco 49ers will be going head-to-head with the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football.
Williams gave a shoutout to her fellow San Francisco squad by pulling up to the arena in a Deebo Samuel 49ers jersey. That’s how you play to the crowd.
