The Golden State Valkyries' first game after the All-Star break ended in a, 91-89, loss to the Phoenix Mercury at the Mortgage Matchup Center in downtown Phoenix, Arizona on Wednesday, July 29.
The Valkyries have dropped consecutive games after their franchise-record nine-game winning streak. Golden State was outplayed by Phoenix in most of the second half.
Valkyries led at halftime, 46-34, after outscoring the Mercury, 28-13 in the second quarter. Golden State had allowed the lead to slip in the second half.
Golden State was without forward Gabby Williams who did not play as she prepares for her return to competition with reconditioning. Williams, who is the team-leading scorer with 14.8 points per game, suffered a lower back injury in early July.
The Valkyries were paced by Cecilia Zandalasini who led the team with a 16-point performance, including three steals and 3-for-6 shooting on 3-point field goals. Veronica Burton had 15 points and five ******* ists for Golden State.
