If you haven't been paying attention to the WNBA Playoffs, you are missing out.

Honestly, if you like basketball at all, this is the only thing going on, and the series, although short, has been awesome.
asserted
series → like → basketball
We've already seen the Las Vegas Aces beat the Indiana Fever last night in Game 3, and we saw the Dream and Liberty sweep their series.
asserted
Dream → see → series
The Liberty knocked out the top team from the regular season.
asserted
Liberty → knock → season
Tonight we have the other top team on the ropes as the Wings look to upset the Valkyries.

Wings → have → Valkyries

The Dallas Wings are built on star power.
asserted
Wings → build → power
They have two of the brightest young stars in the league, with Paige Bueckers in her first playoff games.
asserted
They → have → games
They also have Azzi Fudd, but she has been out with an injury for the majority of the season.
asserted
she → have → season
When the Wings received the #1 overall pick for the past two years, this is what they envisioned and what they were looking to build.
asserted
they → receive → what
However, it really isn't Bueckers, and certainly not Fudd, who is making the impact in this one.
asserted
who → make → one
Instead, this series was extended by Arike Ogunbowale.
asserted
series → extend → Ogunbowale
If you haven't watched her play, I compare her to Jamal Crawford, Lou Williams or Jordan Clarkson.
asserted
I → watch → Crawford
Ogunbowale has been a starter, but can't really carry a team on both ends.
asserted
Ogunbowale → carry → ends
She certainly put the team on her back in Game 2, dropping 45 points in 42 minutes of action.
asserted
She → put → action
She was incredibly efficient as well, shooting 52% overall, 63% from deep, and almost 90% from the free-throw line.
asserted
She → shoot → line
The Golden State Valkyries are built on being a deep, well-rounded squad.

Valkyries → build → ?
That can't always work in the postseason.
asserted
That → work → postseason
If you haven't noticed in basketball, you need stars to win.
asserted
you → notice → stars
It isn't like the best player always wins, but just because you are a deep team doesn't mean you're the best team in the postseason.
asserted
you → win → postseason
We've seen it over and over — you need a deep team to keep from getting too tired, and you need role players that can contribute, but you also need a guy (or in this case, a woman) to take over a team when you need a bucket.
asserted
you → see → bucket

To her credit, Gabby Williams is having a fantastic series for the Valkyries.
asserted
Williams → click → Valkyries
In Game 1, she dropped 20 points in 27 minutes while the team blew out Dallas.
asserted
team → drop → Dallas
In Game 2, they lost on the road to the Wings, who put up a historic performance.
asserted
who → lose → performance
She continues to facilitate and be involved in rebounding as well.
asserted
She → continue → rebounding
She has four other teammates averaging over 10 points per game, so she is getting help.
asserted
she → have → help
The question is whether Williams can be the go-to scorer they need tonight when Dallas has both Bueckers and Ogunbowale.
asserted
Dallas → go → Bueckers
Being at home should certainly help the Valkyries, who have gone 17-5 at home this season.
asserted
who → help → home
I do expect Bueckers to be more involved in the scoring tonight, but she might not be enough.
uncertain
she → expect → scoring
This Golden State team knows they need to avoid a collapse.
asserted
they → know → collapse
They also know that their defense can win them games.
asserted
defense → know → games
I lean to the under on this one, but will play Valkyrie -4.5 in the first half as I think the home crowd will give them the boost needed to get going early.
asserted
crowd → lean → boost
