She's been our leader, she's been our offense, the head of it all season. … I'm glad to call you my teammate. We could not have done this without you.”
In post-game comments, Williams reflected on her journey and spoke about what she would tell a young Gabby Williams.
“I would tell [little] Gabby, how important, how far love can go,” Williams said. “I definitely lost that. Just thinking about ‘What's the next thing, what's the next thing?' But then, the best thing is sometimes right in front of you. It's people who love you, it's the people you love. That's what got me going tonight. That's what's got me going all season.”
