Golden State Valkyries defeat Los Angeles Sparks 78-58 in WNBA showdown

On Monday, June 15, 2026, the Golden State Valkyries traveled to the Chase Center to face the Los Angeles Sparks in a regular‑season WNBA game. The Valkyries won 78‑58, delivering a dominant defensive performance that limited Sparks star Kelsey Plum to nine points, far below her season average.

Gabby Williams, the Valkyries’ forward, said the win was a “wake‑up call” after recent narrow victories. Williams contributed 16 points and anchored the defense, while teammate Kaila Charles added 13 points, eight rebounds and five assists off the bench. The victory was presented as a response to earlier sub‑par effort against the Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm, and the team emphasized renewed energy and intensity for the upcoming schedule.
