Huge night for Kayla Thornton, and a huge second half of the fourth quarter for the rest of the team. Would love it they played the whole game like those 5 mins.

Tough loss Tuesday, a poorer defensive showing from the Valks then we’ve seen in a while.

Coloring and grain of the Lynx score makes the second digit nearly unreadable. Big fan of this.

Valks ending the half with a one point lead, and it’s been a fun game. Not at all the schedule loss expected before this season started, but Golden State likes defying odds.

Can the Valks put up a fight against the Lynx tmrw? They made their matchup against the also undefeated Liberty a battle, and what worked then could be a cue for Sundays game
