Kiah Stokes has missed the last few days of Golden State Valkyries practice and looked congested. Natalie Nakase framed it as rest after Stokes spent the last series guarding the MVP: "I think guarding the MVP is pretty tough. And so, yeah, she's just resting."
"This is Tiffany Hayes coming off of the bench. Like, are you kidding me?" Gabby Williams calls it a huge edge; she and Hayes trade off carrying the scoring. Kiah Stokes says Golden State will keep leaning on its bench in the Finals, "especially when we play Atlanta."
