The Golden State Valkyries (32-12) face the Las Vegas Aces in WNBA Semifinal Game 1 despite missing Iliana Rupert, Alanna Smith, Azzi Fudd, and Costanza Verona. Gabby Williams leads the charge after erasing a 16-point deficit against Dallas. We analyze Kiah Stokes' rebounding impact and Veronica Burton's playmaking against the defending champions.

This episode covers the Valkyries' injury crisis, rotation adjustments with four players out, and Coach Natalie Nakase's health status after collapsing during the Dallas series. We discuss how the Aces' depth contrasts with Golden State's limited bench.

Key topics include rebounding strategies, turnover prevention, and predicting the outcome of Game 1 in San Francisco.
