Behind the Scenes of the Valkyries' First Playoff Win in Franchise History

You had to be inside Chase Center on Sunday night to feel what happened.

The Golden State Valkyries put together the most explosive offensive performance in franchise history, and this video captures it from the inside. 104 points. 18 threes. A second quarter that nobody in the building will forget. The first playoff win in Valkyries history, earned right here at home in front of Ballhalla at its absolute loudest.

Cecilia Zandalasini was locked in from the opening tip, finishing with a postseason career high 22 points in under 17 minutes of action. Tiffany Hayes came off the bench and went 4 for 4 from three. Gabby Williams added 20. Three players over 20 points in a playoff game. This team is different.

The second quarter is something the franchise will talk about for a long time. A 37-11 run that buried the Wings and sent Chase Center into a different level of noise. Eight different players knocked down threes. Only four turnovers all night. This is what the Valkyries look like when everything clicks.

Game 1 belongs to Golden State.
