The Golden State Valkyries completed a five-game road trip with a 3-2 record, showcasing resilience despite missing All-Star Kayla Thornoton. Coach Natalie Nakase praised the team's ability to play tougher and more connected. Numerous players contributed, with four different leading scorers and five starting lineups during the trip. Following a key win against the Chicago Sky, point guard Veronica Burton emphasized the team's selflessness and adaptability on the court. Ultimately, despite a loss to the Las Vegas Aces, the Valkyries remain competitive in the standings.
We're down players, but that's what I love about this team. It's not just the next one woman up mentality. It's next woman and let's play tougher together.
If someone's going, then we're going to find them and we're going to keep feeding them. It's a fun brand of basketball when it's hard to guard and hard to prepare for.
