That 91-80 Win For Golden State? Yeah, Our Storm Already Felt That Heat.
Alright, Seattle, listen up! The Golden State Valkyries just dropped another bomb on the Dallas Wings, taking them down 91-80 over at Chase Center. This isn't just another win for them, folks, this is their fourth consecutive victory, and it's putting the whole WNBA on notice. Why do we care, you ask? Because this is the same Valkyries squad that rolled right over our Seattle Storm just a few days ago. Yikes.
Valkyries Just Keep Gunning
Seriously, these Valkyries are on a tear. Wednesday night against the Wings, they led by as many as 24 points in what sounds like a wire-to-wire clinic. Gabby Williams was absolutely electric, putting up a team-high 25 points. And you know who else stepped up big? Kayla Thornton, grabbing a season-high 11 rebounds and adding 8 points to the score sheet. When a team is pulling off wins like this, leading by that much, with key players making those kinds of impacts, you know they mean business. They are locked in, and the rest of the league, including our Emerald City squad, needs to pay attention.

What This Means For Our WNBA Hopes
So, why is a Golden State win getting prime real estate on Seattle On Tap? Because these Valkyries are a problem, a really big problem. Salaün and Hayes were noted as difference-makers off the bench in that previous win over our Storm, back on June 12th. When you see a team racking up four straight wins, and one of those was against our team, it's not just a statistic, it's a statement. It tells us the level of competition out there, and what our Storm needs to be ready for night in and night out. We bleed green and blue here in Seattle, and when one of our teams takes a hit, it makes you look at the landscape differently. We want our Storm to be at the top, battling for every win, and seeing teams like the Valkyries dominate? It's a wake-up call, a reminder of the grind ahead.
The Valkyries are back at it this Saturday, June 20th, taking on the Minnesota Lynx, and then again next Thursday, June 25th, against the Atlanta Dream. You can bet they're looking to keep that win streak alive. For our Storm, it’s all about getting back to that winning form and proving we can hang with, and beat, the hottest teams in the league. Let's go, Seattle!
