Courtney Williams

The Minnesota Lynx are a perfect 9-0, outscoring opponents by a whopping 14.1 points per game, and appear to be well-positioned for a second-consecutive trip to the WNBA Finals. And yet, analysts keeping a close eye on their dominance have often uttered a similar thought; opponents should be shivering at what it could mean when Courtney Williams truly settles into one of those “only Courtney Williams” grooves. Nothing short of a game-changer regardless, Williams showcases that score-at-any-time skillset, leaving the L.A. Sparks’ arena quieter than a classroom on test day after her third quarter catch-and-shoot triple. As truly great teams do, Minnesota found a way to keep Los Angeles at arm’s length throughout, stringing together the stops and scores needed for a double-digit win on May 18, 2025. Dynamic throughout, Williams packed the box score with 13 points, five rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers.
