WNBA Playoffs: Golden State Valkyries Look to Close Out Dallas Wings in Game 3

WHY IT MATTERS

The outcome of this game will determine the fate of the Dallas Wings in the WNBA playoffs, and highlight the importance of star power in the postseason.

What happened

The Golden State Valkyries are poised to close out the Dallas Wings in Game 3 of the WNBA playoffs. The series has been extended by Arike Ogunbowale, who dropped 45 points in Game 2. The Valkyries are built on being a deep, well-rounded squad, but need a star to take over when necessary. Gabby Williams has been having a fantastic series, facilitating and contributing on the boards. The question is whether she can be the go-to scorer they need tonight. The Valkyries have a strong home record, going 17-5 at home this season, while Dallas was 11-11 away from their home floor. The home crowd is expected to give the Valkyries a boost, but Ogunbowale's performance in Game 2 suggests she can carry the team on her back.
