The Valkyries rallied from a 14-point halftime deficit and tied the game two separate times in the second half, but fell just short in the end as Laeticia Amihere’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer cut the Los Angeles lead from four as the clock hit zeroes.

Golden State fans were fired up to see the Valkyries make their WNBA debut, as proven by the atmosphere and attendance at Chase Center.

A week before their home opener, the Golden State Valkyries gear up to make history as the Bay Area’s first WNBA team.
