Gabby Williams produced one of the most memorable individual displays in WNBA Finals history, pouring in 28 points during the second half of Game 7 as the Golden State Valkyries wrestled the title away from the Atlanta Dream.
With just 2:18 remaining in the fourth quarter, Williams launched a 30-foot three-pointer that found the net and handed the Valkyries a 60-57 advantage. It was a dagger that effectively broke Atlanta's resistance after the Dream had led for much of the contest - and the series.
Data scientist Mike Beuoy calculated that the shot swung Golden State's championship probability from 54 per cent to 75 per cent in one moment. His analysis places Williams' long-range bomb as the 10th most impactful shot in the league's entire history, measured by its effect on title odds.
For Atlanta, the defeat is a bitter pill. Having held the upper hand in the series, the Dream were unable to close things out when it mattered most. Game 7 slipped through their fingers in devastating fashion, leaving the franchise to reflect on yet another painful near-miss in their pursuit of a championship.
The Valkyries, meanwhile, can celebrate a remarkable triumph built on Williams' extraordinary late surge - a performance that will be replayed for years to come.
