Toronto TempovsGolden State Valkyries
TOR 79/GS 96
Things to say
The Golden State Valkyries beat the Toronto Tempo 96-79 at Chase Center.
01
opener
Valkyries took care of business at home, 96-79. Never really in doubt after the half. Toronto just didn't have enough buckets in them.
02
key player
Janelle Salaun went for 24 and looked like the best player on the floor. She was getting anything she wanted.
03
hot take
Golden State at 20-9 is quietly one of the scariest teams out there. Nobody's talking about them and that's a mistake.
04
deep cut
Kiah Stokes grabbed 11 boards and just owned the paint all night. Toronto had no answer inside.
05
exit
Tempo are 10-19 now, kind of spiraling. Curious to see if they can steady it next game.
The recap
Golden State handled business at home, running Toronto out of the gym 96-79. Janelle Salaun got buckets all night, dropping a game-high 24 to lead the Valkyries, while Kiah Stokes cleaned the glass with 11 boards.
Nyara Sabally kept the Tempo from getting embarrassed with 19 and 8, but she didn't have enough help and Toronto just couldn't hang. Golden State moves to 20-9; Toronto took the L and drops to 10-19.
