Golden State Valkyries W vs Toronto Tempo W — 92:82, NBA W

The Golden State Valkyries W defeated the Toronto Tempo W 92-82, earning a 10-point victory behind a balanced offensive effort and strong perimeter shooting. Golden State controlled enough of the game’s key stretches to separate from Toronto, using efficient scoring and a rebounding advantage to maintain pressure throughout the matchup. Janelle Salaun led the Valkyries with 21 points, while Kayla Thornton added 20 points in a strong supporting performance. V. Burton also contributed 12 points, giving Golden State multiple scoring options and helping the team sustain its offense when Toronto made pushes. Toronto was led by Nyara Sabally, who matched Salaun with 21 points, and Maria Conde, who finished with 17 points. The Tempo moved the ball well, recording 22 assists, and shot efficiently from the field, but they were hurt by the rebounding gap and could not consistently slow Golden State’s scoring runs. Golden State’s 38-27 rebounding edge and 12 made three-pointers proved important in the final result. The win gives the Valkyries a positive result to build on, while Toronto can take away its offensive efficiency and ball movement but will need to improve on the glass and defensive consistency going forward.
