Friends, I am thrilled to introduce you to Valkyries Beat. This is where I will be writing about the Golden State Valkyries this season, running a full beat and -- with your help as subscribers -- back on the road. www.valkyriesbeat.com

Since Game 3, Reese has scored 15 points on 4-for-20 shooting. That comes on the heels of 51 points and 28 rebounds in Games 2 and 3 combined.

Despite the Dream leading the free throw advantage in the series, Angel Reese wants more calls | @mercurynews.com www.mercurynews.com/2026/10/26/a...

Natalie Nakase: “(Burton) I think is hands down the point guard in the league.”

Kiah Stokes: “As much as we love Ballhalla, we don’t want to come back here.”

Veronica Burton: “Call in sick. I recommend it.”

what if the Valkyries win the WNBA Finals

the Golden State Valkyries are one win away from winning the WNBA Finals

Valkyries take Game 5, 64-55 They will head to Atlanta on Thursday with the chance to win the WNBA Finals.

Reese has never been held to single-digit points in consecutive games since 5/30 and 6/1 2024

The Dream will not have the worst offensive night in WNBA Finals history

the record for fewest points in a WNBA Finals game is 47 from Houston in 1999 btw

Kiah Stokes hasn't made three 3-pointers in a game since 2024

Kiah Stokes had a 19% block rate, averaging above 3 blocks per game in under 20 minutes as a senior at UCONN. She is one of the greatest shot blockers in the history of the women's game. The Warden of Alcatraz.

"Big Shot Burton" sign in the crowd, Valkyries Courtside Report is mainstream guys

End 3: Valkyries 46, Dream 40 let's see if anyone gets to 60

The ball isn't going in because it no longer recognizes the net as its home

when I covered the 2019 Stanley Cup in St. Louis Jon Hamm randomly had a press conference just because he is a Blues fan and I think that Zendaya should do that here

they're chanting defense as if that's not the only thing happening

If this game is the way it is because of exhaustion a morning Game 6 across the country will surely help

this game has no rhythm lmao

Atlanta forcing Gabby to her left and she is 1-for-9

I don't think that was a good challenge by Karl

all of Ballhalla singing along to "What's Going On" by Four Non-Blondes. no other sports league is doing it like this

Tip Hayes is on the bench getting some help with her right eye. She put her head back and dropped some solution in the eye.

7-0 Valks run to start the third

Kiah finally hit one of those 3s

Veronica Burton after the Valks hold the Dream to 8-for-34 shooting and 22 points in the whole-ass first half: "we've gotta play better defense"

8th block of Angel Reese these Finals by Kiah Stokes! herhoopstats.com/stats/wnba/p...

Halftime: Valkyries 25, Dream 22 Ugly basketball dot com

Okot and Paopao is a sign Smesko is concerned about running his players into the ground.

It's exactly who the Valkyries want to be

Chen minutes

Dudes will see this and say hell yea

Gabby 1-for-6 so far

VB got in the face of an official for a non-call on the rebound before Nakase called timeout. Guessing Burton didn't feel satisfied with her initial conversation so she walked up to the scorer's table to say a few more words to the officiating crew.

Ruthie!

Veronica Burton back to back buckets #WNBA

Highlight Reel Hayes is this anything

I love that Zendeya is rocking the giveaway shirt at Balhalla. Legit sports girlie.

Big Shot Burton has logged on

End one: Atlanta 14, Valkyries 13 Some misses that weren't great
