Following their 84-57 loss to the Valkyries, Skylar Diggins of the Seattle Storm expressed her frustrations about the team's lack of effort. She argued that the loss wasn't solely due to a poor third quarter but rather the entire game, emphasizing that the Valkyries outplayed them in critical areas such as fast break points and field goal percentage. Despite her own team-high 18 points, she acknowledged that credit should be given to their opponents for playing better basketball. Diggins called out the need for a stronger professional approach from the team moving forward.
‘It’s embarrassing. It’s (expletive) effort on our part. As professionals, we need to come out here and play with a level about yourself, or this is what is going to happen.’
‘I thought they did everything better than us tonight. Credit them. Their effort was better. They were winning 50-50 balls. They ran the floor harder than we did.’
