Barcelona survived the night’s sharpest test, beating Valencia 87-86 in a one-point Supercopa ACB finish that headlined a five-game schedule across Europe and NBA W play on Sept. 19, 2026.
The slate delivered a clear split: drama in Spain, separation in the NBA W. Atlanta Dream W produced the most dominant result of the day with a 106-81 win over Chicago Sky W, while Golden State Valkyries W handled Portland W 82-66 and Dallas Wings W beat Phoenix Mercury W 87-82.
Barcelona Holds Off Valencia in Supercopa ACB Thriller
Barcelona’s 87-86 win over Valencia was the defining possession-by-possession game of the slate. In a matchup decided by a single point, Barcelona did just enough to leave with the result, while Valencia pushed the game to the margins.
The scoreline reflected a contest with little room for tactical error. Barcelona’s ability to close out a narrow road-style pressure game stands out on a night when most other winners created more comfortable separation.
Joventut Badalona Beats Baskonia by Double Digits
Joventut Badalona added another notable Supercopa ACB result, defeating Baskonia 96-84. The 12-point margin gave Joventut one of the more convincing wins of the day and completed a strong Spanish segment of the schedule.
Unlike Barcelona’s one-point escape, Joventut created enough distance to control the final outcome. Against a Baskonia side capable of punishing mistakes, that separation mattered.
Atlanta Delivers the Night’s Biggest Statement
Atlanta Dream W authored the most lopsided result on the board, beating Chicago Sky W 106-81. The 25-point margin was the largest of the five games and the only result to cross the 100-point mark.
That type of scoring output changes the tone of a slate. Atlanta did not just win; it created a result with clear scoreboard authority, turning the game into the day’s most decisive performance.
Golden State Controls Portland
Golden State Valkyries W defeated Portland W 82-66, using a 16-point margin to produce one of the cleaner NBA W outcomes of the day. The Valkyries held Portland to the lowest losing total among the three NBA W games listed.
In a schedule that included one close NBA W result and one blowout, Golden State landed in the middle: not as explosive as Atlanta, but firmly in control by the final score.
Dallas Edges Phoenix in Five-Point Finish
Dallas Wings W closed out Phoenix Mercury W 87-82 in the tightest NBA W game of the slate. The five-point margin gave Dallas a hard-earned result in a matchup that stayed within reach.
On a night where Atlanta and Golden State created clear separation, Dallas had to win in a narrower window. The final score points to a game defined less by dominance and more by late-game execution.
