The Golden State Valkyries W earned a 91-80 win over the Seattle Storm W, pulling away to secure an 11-point victory. Golden State’s offensive balance was the difference, with multiple contributors reaching double figures and the team generating 22 assists, a sign of consistent ball movement and effective shot creation throughout the game. Janelle Salaun led the Valkyries with 20 points, while V. Burton added 16 and K. Chen contributed 14. Golden State was especially effective from beyond the arc, making 15 three-pointers, which helped offset Seattle’s rebounding advantage and gave the Valkyries enough separation on the scoreboard. Seattle was paced by Dominique Malonga, who finished with a game-high 21 points, while Z. Cooke added 15. The Storm produced a solid shooting performance and controlled the glass with 41 rebounds, but they were unable to consistently slow Golden State’s perimeter scoring or match the Valkyries’ offensive efficiency in key stretches. Going forward, Golden State can take confidence from its depth, spacing and playmaking, particularly the way it created quality looks from three-point range. Seattle, meanwhile, will look to build on Malonga’s strong scoring outing and its rebounding edge while addressing defensive execution against perimeter-heavy opponents.
