Commentary needs a regenerate pass — the structured payload didn't parse.

The recap

Valkyries took care of business at Chase, 87-81 over the Mercury. Gabby Williams went off for 25 and was getting buckets all night, while Veronica Burton dropped 8 dimes running the show.

Alyssa Thomas stuffed the stat sheet for Phoenix with 22 and 9, but she didn't have enough help and the Merc took the L. Golden State climbs to 7-5 while Phoenix slides to 4-9.
