The Golden State Valkyries just showed everyone what a real comeback looks like, and honey, it’s fierce!
Breaking the Losing Streak
In a jaw-dropping performance that had fans on the edge of their seats, the Valkyries demolished the Las Vegas Aces 95-68, effectively giving their four-game losing streak the ultimate middle finger. Kayla Thornton led the charge with a stellar 22 points and 11 rebounds, proving she’s not just playing the game, she’s dominating it.
Rising Stars Take Center Stage
Veronica Burton and Monique Billings weren’t about to let Thornton steal all the glory. Burton dropped a career-high 12 assists while Billings contributed 14 points and 11 rebounds. Rookie sensation Cecilia Zandalasini also showed up and showed out with a personal best 18 points, making it clear that the Valkyries are a team to watch.
More Than Just a Win
This wasn’t just a game, it was a statement. The Valkyries set a franchise record for points, absolutely annihilating the Aces’ defense and proving that they’re far more than just an expansion team. With this win, they’ve officially put the league on notice: the Valkyries have arrived, and they’re not here to play nice.
