The Golden State Valkyries are WNBA champions. In a tense, gruelling Game 7, the expansion franchise toppled the Atlanta Dream 68-63 to lift the league's biggest prize at the first time of asking.
It was a game that swung on second-half brilliance - and one player in particular made sure the trophy headed west.
Gabby Williams was nothing short of extraordinary. Her 30-point haul earned her the Finals MVP award, with 28 of those points coming after half-time - a WNBA Finals record that underlined her ice-cold composure when it mattered most.
Williams took the game by the scruff of the neck when the Valkyries needed her, turning a tight contest into a coronation.
This was no one-woman show, though. Tiffany Hayes brought vital scoring punch, while Kiah Stokes was a defensive force throughout the series, setting a league record for blocks across the Finals. Veronica Burton then delivered the dagger, sinking clutch free throws in the dying seconds to put the result beyond doubt.
Fans across the Bay Area are already gearing up for a championship parade, though organisers have yet to confirm a date or route. Rain is forecast for Tuesday, but temperatures should remain mild - sitting between the mid-50s and mid-60s - so celebrations are unlikely to be dampened for long.
Broadcast details for the parade are expected to follow shortly, giving those unable to attend in person a chance to soak it all in from home.
