The Golden State Valkyries have pushed the WNBA Finals to a decisive seventh game, putting one of basketball's fastest expansion success stories on the brink of a title, according to Sporting News.
Just two seasons ago, the Valkyries did not yet exist as a playing franchise. Now the young team is a single win away from capturing a championship, a turnaround that Sporting News describes as among the most remarkable expansion stories in the sport.
The Game 7 showdown caps a series that has drawn attention to how quickly Golden State's new roster has become a contender, with the franchise's rapid rise now set to be decided in a single, winner-take-all contest.
