In a best of five series, teams who win game one go on to win the series 70% of the time. And we are officially up and underway from Ball Hollow. Asia Wilson, fourtime MVP, likely for number five. Blocked by Stokes, her former teammates knows her tendencies well. Seems they understand setting the tone early in the importance of that. D Lloyd to Chelsea Ray knocks it down. Chelsea Gray is cold bloodooded of what they've wanted to prove in this Golden State organization gave them that opportunity.
Young looked at the rim got it to Wilson. It's good. Stokes recognized the mismatch. Xandelini just in time. Dia Stokes on the glass. Williams tease it up. Count it. Gabby Williams is a player that's been empowered by this Valkyrie staff. No look down to Turner. I thought only Chelsea Gray did that. Already has one three. They get it to Xanderini. Back to Williams. Pump fake. It's good. See Vegas slowing it up. Going to Wilson. Fade away. Bottom attention to detail. Las Vegas knows that's necessary.
Wilson aggressive. Asia Wilson held in it to help the Valkyries accomplish what they did. Meanwhile, we've got a three-point basketball game. Williams cashes in against Dallas the other night. She's probably looking for some size. Put her on Asia Wilson. Young cashes in. Wilson in control. Has Williams on her. They go back to her. Yes. Bades scores again. Chess match of putting her different places on the floor and how she can score cuz she can do it from everywhere. At one point Gabby Williams had eight straight and one opportunity. Tough bucket. Young step back and the box out by Golden State. Williams putting the Jets on for two.
Another offensive rebound for Golden State. The hands of Gabby Williams has 15 points. Keeps it coming if not even the playing field. Wilson using her strength. Big body move because the Valkyries have gotten it to the places on the floor they want to get to. Xanderini converts. Back door cut by Wilson. Met at the rim by Bo State. THE BOUNCE PASS TO THORNTON. And that was with the assist brought to you by State Farm.
Third foul on Kia Stokes. We'll keep an eye on that. Meanwhile, a lot OF TRAFFIC. DOESN'T MATTER. Brazia Wilson, the point guard. Here comes Williams down to Gay. Williams running things. Gets ahead of Young. Williams in control. Down to Gay. up and in and the foul. All the injuries that the Aces are playing with, the big three, including that woman, rattles that one home. Asia Wilson, are going to be so important in this game so far. Williams has Wilson on her. Creates space with the step back and hold playing basketball. This is a place that she has called home and they certainly have embraced it. Chang on a mission
is the team that win game wins game one goes on to win the series 70% of the time. Not if Jackie Young Gray keeps it in a little bit of trouble using her body. Young too short tried to squat it away from Williams. Williams keeps it pitched back to Thornton. What a big opportunity in game one. They've got home court advantage in this best of five series. Williams attack mode. They're using this shot clock. Chen gets past Yamama Moto up and in. Becky Hammond talked about game ones being feelout games. You gather a lot of information. So now it makes me excited for the chess match that could be this series.
Yamamoto tees it up. Remember, Vegas swept Golden State in the regular season, but we started this broadcast saying none of that matters. That was in June. This is the playoffs. Golden State always confident inside Ballhalla as they hold Las Vegas to a season low 60 points. Attention to detail. Played to their strengths. defense rebounding and the moxy behind that player and Gabby Williams. Natalie Cas, Becky Hammond sharing a moment at the scores table as this one ends in a win FOR GOLDEN STATE. THEY TAKE game one of the WNBA semifinal.
