Garrett Gonzales is joined by special guest Christian Braswell of Off The Record for Podhalla Postgame after a chaotic, winner-take-all Game 3 at Ballhalla. The Valkyries started slow, fell behind by as many as 16 points, and trailed 53-37 in the third quarter before storming back to beat the Wings 77-73 and advance to their first-ever WNBA semifinals, where they'll host the Las Vegas Aces in Game 1.

They break down the full comeback, including:

- Gabby Williams' huge second half — she scored nearly all of her 19 points after halftime, capped by a go-ahead jumper with 1:17 left

- Arike Ogunbowale going off again for Dallas, scoring 30 more points on the heels of her 45-point record game in Game 2

- The scary moment when head coach Natalie Nakase went down to her knees while with officials late in the fourth quarter — and was back up drawing a play within seconds

- The missed calls and jump balls that became part of the story down the stretch, including a coach's challenge that overturned a crucial late call in Golden State's favor

Garrett and Christian react to the series win and preview the matchup with Las Vegas.

Garrett Gonzales and Brian Gonzales break down the Valkyries' 104-80 Game 1 win over the Dallas Wings — a franchise-record playoff scoring output and Golden State's first playoff win in franchise history. They dig into big games from Cecilia Zandalasini (22 points), Tiffany Hayes (21 points off the bench), and Gabby Williams (20 points), plus a suffocating defensive performance that held Dallas to a 37-11 second quarter and forced a miserable shooting night outside of Paige Bueckers.

They also get into:

- What Dallas was missing outside of Bueckers' 21-point night, and how the Valkyries' defense — led by Williams and Veronica Burton — closed off her driving lanes

- What adjustments Dallas could realistically make for Game 2

- A look around the rest of the first round, including New York's upset of top-seeded Minnesota, plus Las Vegas and Atlanta both taking 1-0 series leads
