Valkyries fans make Kiah Stokes feel ‘loved' after MVP performance in Game 5 win

Kiah Stokes knows what it takes to be a winner in the WNBA, and she has the Golden State Valkyries one victory away from their first championship in franchise history. The 33-year-old center led the Valkyries to a 64-55 win in Game 5 of the WNBA Finals on Monday night at Chase Center, sinking a trio of 3-pointers en route to a two-way performance that featured 13 points, seven rebounds and three blocks.

I was just like, Man, y all crazy, Stokes told reporters about the chants after the win. I mean, I appreciate the support, but at the end of the day, I just feel like our whole team, everyone on our team is so important. I just feel like we need everyone. So I think it s cool.
