I don't believe it. The Golden State Valkyries have swept the defending champions, the Las Vegas Aces, 3-0 after winning Game 3 by a final score of 87-77 in OT. The Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream will compete for the #WNBA Championship!

I had this to say about the Atlanta Dream when I wrote this article on September 26th. All of this has come true and the Atlanta Dream are now headed to the #WNBA Finals after sweeping the New York Liberty (3-0) and winning Game 3 by a score of 85-83.

Golden State needed that win more. They hang on to win 83-81. The Valkyries are now one win away from advancing to the #WNBA Finals for the first time in franchise history. GSV leads the series 2-0. The Las Vegas Aces are now on the brink of elimination.

WOW ... the ending, that is crazy. The New York Liberty supposedly had their reset timeout and didn't use it. I have no idea how that's possible. Angel Reese with some major clutch free throws. The Atlanta Dream take a 2-0 series lead and they're one win away from a trip to the #WNBA Finals.

FINAL: The Golden State Valkyries defeat the Las Vegas Aces 71-60. Both home teams held serve in Game 1 of the semifinals. Gabby Williams led GSV with 25 points and 11 rebounds. A'ja Wilson led the Aces with 24 points, but only 4 rebounds. Valks out-rebounded them 52-25. #WNBA

The Las Vegas Aces have ruled Jewell Loyd out for the rest of the game after she suffered a left leg injury in the 3rd quarter. #WNBA

HALFTIME: The Golden State Valkyries lead 34-31, but the Aces ended the half on an 8-0 run. Gabby Williams leads the Valkyries with 18 points. A'ja Wilson leads Las Vegas with 15 points, but only 1 rebound. #WNBA

FINAL: The Atlanta Dream defeat the New York Liberty 92-82. They turned the tide in the 3rd period when they outscored New York 32-15. Jordin Canada led with 25 points and 5 steals. DeWanna Bonner with 23 points off the bench. Sabrina led NYL with 27 points. #WNBA

The New York Liberty lead the Atlanta Dream 40-37 at the half. The biggest story is that Allisha Gray injured her shooting hand, tried to come back, hurt it again, and is now ruled out. Sabrina Ionescu leads NYL with 12 points. DeWanna Bonner leads the Dream with 12 pts. #WNBA

I wrote a #WNBA Semifinals preview article as the New York Liberty battle the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries face the Las Vegas Aces. I correctly predicted 3 out of the 4 first-round series and nailed 2 exactly. Read more below! www.stormchasersbasketball.com/p/wnba-semif...

Gabby Williams will send the Golden State Valkyries to the #WNBA Semifinals to face the Las Vegas Aces. The Valkyries win their first-ever playoff series. They trailed by 16 in the 3rd quarter and rallied to win 77-73. Veronica Burton made some incredible hustle plays too.

Golden State is in trouble. A 20-0 run by Dallas and the Wings lead by 16 in the 3rd quarter. #WNBA

I always enjoy talking hoops with Tyler. We discussed the Aces/Fever playoff series and more of the #WNBA playoffs as we near the semifinals. Can anyone stop A’ja Wilson and the Aces?

FINAL: The Las Vegas Aces defeat the Indiana Fever 94-83. A'ja Wilson led the way with 36 points and 10 rebounds. Chelsea Gray 23 points and Jackie Young 18 points. Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever with 23 points but on 7-23 FG. Aliyah Boston 19 & 10. Caitlin Clark 18 pts (6-18 FG). #WNBA

HALFTIME: The Las Vegas Aces lead the Indiana Fever 54-48. A'ja Wilson leads all scorers with 21 points. Jewell Loyd with 11 points and Jackie Young added 10. Caitlin Clark leads the Fever with 13 points. Aliyah Boston 11 points & 7 rebounds. Kelsey Mitchell 10 points. #WNBA

Win and survive and that's what the Dallas Wings have done. Dallas forces the decisive Game 3 with a 108-100 OT victory. Arike Ogunbowale sets a #WNBA record with 45 points! Ballhalla is about to be nuts on Friday!

I am very hyped for the Atlanta Dream versus the New York Liberty series in the semi-finals. That should be fun! #WNBA

The Golden State Valkyries now own home court advantage throughout the remainder of the #WNBA playoffs for as long as they keep winning.

This is a nightmare scenario for the Minnesota Lynx. They would have been better off falling to the #2 seed and facing the Dallas Wings. Now they are on the verge of being swept in the first round of the playoffs by the New York Liberty after going 33-11 on the season. #WNBA
