The Golden State Valkyries W earned an 88-83 win over the Atlanta Dream W, closing out a competitive five-point result behind balanced scoring and stronger perimeter shooting. Golden State hit 13 of 34 attempts from 3-point range, outpacing Atlanta’s 8-of-26 mark from beyond the arc, and that difference proved important in a game decided by a narrow margin.

V. Burton led the Valkyries with 21 points, providing the scoring punch Golden State needed in key stretches. Gabby Williams added 19 points, giving the Valkyries another reliable offensive option as they finished with 19 assists and generated enough ball movement to keep Atlanta’s defense under pressure.

Atlanta stayed within reach behind a strong performance from A. Gray, who scored a game-high 22 points. R. Howard added 19 points, while A. Reese contributed 17 points as the Dream held a 37-30 rebounding advantage. Despite that edge on the glass, Atlanta could not fully offset Golden State’s efficiency from the perimeter.

The result gives Golden State a valuable win in a close contest, showing its ability to execute late and capitalize on outside shooting. For Atlanta, the loss highlights both the team’s scoring depth and the need to tighten defensive coverage on the arc in close games going forward.
