Teams Preview

Dallas Wings

The Dallas Wings are coming off a 96-92 loss to the Washington Mystics in their latest game. Dallas looked in complete control after building a 59-44 halftime lead and extending the margin to 20 points in the third quarter. However, the Mystics mounted a remarkable comeback, outscoring the Wings 52-33 in the second half to steal the victory. 

Jessica Shepard was outstanding, shooting a perfect 9-for-9 from the field for 18 points and 10 rebounds, while Alanna Smith added 17 points. Despite the strong offensive start, Dallas struggled to contain Washington in the paint late in the game and couldn't execute in the closing minutes.

Dallas' strategy against Golden State will revolve around their balanced offense led by Paige Bueckers, Arike Ogunbowale, and their frontcourt. The Wings will look to push the pace in transition and attack early before the Valkyries can set their defense. 

After allowing a huge comeback in their previous game, improving interior defense, limiting second-chance points, and maintaining composure in late-game situations will be major priorities. Defensively, they'll pressure Golden State's primary ball handlers and attempt to disrupt the Valkyries' ball movement.

The Dallas Wings on average, score 89.3 points per game, they score 46.6% from the field and are ranked 5th in the league, and 34.3% from the arc and are ranked 8th in the league. The Dallas Wings grab 34 rebounds per game and ranked 5th in the season.

Golden State Valkyries

The Golden State Valkyries are coming off a 91-78 victory over the Seattle Storm. Golden State delivered one of its most complete performances of the season, controlling the game through efficient offense and disciplined defense. The Valkyries steadily built their lead throughout the contest, using balanced scoring and strong rebounding to pull away in the second half. Their defensive pressure forced Seattle into difficult possessions while their ball movement created high-quality scoring opportunities.

Golden State will continue relying on a balanced offensive approach rather than depending on one scorer. Their game plan will emphasize quick ball movement, spacing the floor, and attacking mismatches inside while creating open perimeter looks. 

Defensively, the Valkyries' biggest challenge will be containing Dallas' explosive backcourt. Expect them to focus on limiting transition opportunities, protecting the defensive glass, and forcing the Wings into contested half-court shots.

The Golden State Valkyries on average score 82.9 points per game, they score 42.2% from the field and are ranked 15th in the league, and 35.3% from the arc and are ranked 5th in the league. The Golden State Valkyries grab 32.2 rebounds per game and ranked 11th in season.
