The recent game between the Golden State Valkyries and Los Angeles Sparks showcased the potential for a rivalry, despite being new to the league. The Valkyries secured an 82-73 victory, indicating their growth after previous defeats. The game demonstrated competitiveness, especially in the second quarter when Golden State executed an impressive 18-0 run. Meanwhile, the Sparks struggled with inconsistency and contributed to their continued challenges early in the season.
