In a tough matchup, the Golden State Valkyries faced a significant defeat against the New York Liberty with a score of 95-67. The highlight of the night was Kayla Thornton receiving her championship ring in a touching pregame ceremony surrounded by her former teammates. After scoring 13 points, she expressed her emotions about the moment and her return to New York. Coach Natalie Nakase took responsibility for the team's poor performance, attributing it to prioritizing rest over practice, noting they would need to adjust ahead of their next game against the Liberty.
I'm glad I got that out of the way now, so I don't have to worry about that and I can just relax and breathe. It's been an emotional roller coaster these past two days for me.
I chose rest over rhythm, and that's what I get. I told them that's on me, and I'll manage it better on our off days to make sure that they have rhythm.
