MINNEAPOLIS (AP) --- Cecilia Zandalasini scored eight of her 18 points in the
fourth quarter, Gabby Williams added 15 points, and the Golden State Valkyries
beat the Minnesota Lynx for the first time in franchise history, 80-66 on
Monday night.
Golden State (26-11) entered 0-9 against Minnesota in the regular season and
playoffs since joining the WNBA in 2025.
Golden State led 63-57 early in the fourth quarter before going on a 14-1 run
to make it 77-58. Zandalasini made her first 3-pointer of the game with 4:39
left and she added another on Minnesota's next possession for a 16-point lead.
Veronica Burton had 14 points and nine assists, and Tiffany Hayes also scored
14 for Golden State. Janelle Salaun added 12 points off the bench.
Minnesota (31-8) was without starting guard Courtney Williams (right ankle
injury) in a regular-season game for the first time since she joined the team
in 2024, a streak of 122 games.
Natasha Howard led Minnesota with 13 points and Kayla McBride added 12.
Napheesa Collier was held to nine points on 4-of-10 shooting. Olivia Miles
moved past Ticha Penicheiro for the second-most assists by a rookie in WNBA
history with 225.
The Lynx had won 15 of their last 16 games, including a 77-66 victory over the
Valkyries last Wednesday.
