On Friday night, the Golden State Valkyries returned from a break following their participation in the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup and beat the Portland Fire 82-66 at San Francisco, securing their fifth consecutive win. Kaitlyn Chen, off the bench, scored 17 points with five 3-pointers, setting a career-high mark for herself. Laeticia Amihere also contributed significantly, scoring 17 points. The team's defense was spearheaded by Veronica Burton who made six steals, breaking a franchise record. However, the Valkyries faced an absence of key players like Gabby Williams and Janelle Salaun, both of whom were part of the French national team that recently lost to the U.S. in the World Cup final with a score of 97-79 on Sunday.
