“How did we even get here?” | Making Sense of the WNBA Finals with LaChina Robinson

The Golden State Valkyries have taken command of the WNBA Finals with their Game 5 win over the Atlanta Dream. Can the Valkyries close out on the road or will the Dream tie the series back up? WNBA analyst and broadcaster LaChina Robinson joins Sue to break down the wild momentum swings that have made this year’s Finals a fight.
