The Golden State Valkyries just drew first blood in their WNBA semifinal series, absolutely stifling the defending champion Las Vegas Aces in a Game 1 win on Sunday. They held the Aces to a mere 60 points in that 71-60 victory, setting a serious tone for the series. You saw it right there in the first quarter too: Gabby Williams and Kiah Stokes combined to block a shot from none other than A’ja Wilson! That’s how you make a statement against the champs.
Game 2 Is Absolutely Crucial, You Know It
Game 1 was played in San Francisco, and Game 2 is set for Wednesday evening at the Chase Center, too. This is huge, because while Golden State is the higher seed and has home-court advantage, we’re talking about the Las Vegas Aces here, a team that has won three of the last four WNBA championships. Every single win in this series is crucial, especially for Valkyries fans who want to see their team dethrone the champs. If Golden State can take another one at home, man, that changes everything for the rest of this series.
What’s It Gonna Cost To See History?
If you want to be there to see if Golden State can go up 2-0, tickets for Wednesday’s Game 2 at the Chase Center start at $123. That’s for the cheapest seats available as of publication. After Wednesday night, the series packs up and shifts over to Las Vegas for Game 3 on Friday, October 9, and then a potential Game 4 on Sunday, October 11. If it goes the distance, a Game 5 would be back in Golden State on Wednesday, October 14, with tickets for that one currently starting at $211. Can Golden State really pull this off? Wednesday night is going to tell us a whole lot!
