June 10 brought a compact but eventful five-game schedule across multiple leagues, with the ACB producing the night’s wildest finish and the WNBA slate supplying both separation and late-game pressure.
Valencia edged Joventut Badalona 118-117 in the highest-scoring game of the day, a one-point result that stood out on a board otherwise defined by contrasting margins. Minnesota delivered the cleanest win of the night, rolling past Dallas 100-76, while Toronto held off Connecticut 106-102 and Golden State beat Phoenix 87-81.
ACB: Valencia Wins One-Point Shootout
Valencia’s 118-117 win over Joventut Badalona was the clear headliner. The scoreline points to a game played at a punishing offensive level, with both teams pushing into triple digits and the margin leaving no room for separation.
For Valencia, the result was less about control than survival. In a game where Joventut matched shot-making deep into the night, the home side found just enough to finish on top. It was the narrowest result of the slate and the only game decided by a single point.
WNBA: Lynx Make the Loudest Statement
Minnesota’s 100-76 win over Dallas was the most emphatic result on the schedule. The Lynx not only reached the century mark but did so while holding the Wings to 76, creating a 24-point gap that separated this matchup from the rest of the night’s WNBA action.
The final margin framed Minnesota as the most dominant team of the day. In a slate that included two closer WNBA finishes, the Lynx removed late-game uncertainty and turned the matchup into a decisive home win.
Valkyries Hold Off Mercury
Golden State beat Phoenix 87-81 in a six-point WNBA result that carried a different shape than Minnesota’s blowout. The Valkyries did enough offensively to create room, then protected that margin through the finish.
Phoenix stayed within reach, but Golden State’s 87 points were enough to withstand the pressure. In a game decided by two possessions, the Valkyries’ ability to close at home defined the result.
Tempo Outlast Sun in 208-Point Game
Toronto defeated Connecticut 106-102 in the highest-scoring WNBA game of the night. Both teams crossed 100, but the Tempo held the final edge in a four-point home win.
The result continued the night’s theme of high-end scoring paired with tight margins. Connecticut generated enough offense to win on many nights, but Toronto matched that pace and finished with the stronger closing position.
Liga Uruguaya: Penarol Edges Aguada
In Liga Uruguaya action, Penarol beat Aguada 89-84 in another competitive finish. The five-point margin fit the broader pattern of the slate, where four of the five games were decided by six points or fewer.
Penarol’s home win added to a strong night for hosts, who won all five games on the schedule. Across leagues, home teams protected their courts, from Valencia’s one-point escape to Minnesota’s commanding 24-point performance.
Nightly Snapshot
The June 10 slate featured five games across the WNBA, ACB and Liga Uruguaya. Home teams went unbeaten, three games were decided by five points or fewer, and four games featured at least one team scoring 100 or more.
Valencia delivered the drama. Minnesota delivered the dominance. Toronto, Golden State and Penarol supplied the late-game execution. On a short schedule, the night still offered a full range of outcomes.
