History made. 🏆💛⁣
⁣⁣
The Golden State Valkyries are officially the winningest expansion team in WNBA history, securing their 18th regular-season win (and fourth straight) with a dominant 90–59 victory over the Chicago Sky. 👏⁣
⁣⁣
Five Valkyries scored in double figures, led by Cecilia Zandalasini’s 20-point encore, while Janelle Salaün set the tone early with three first-quarter triples. 🤩⁣
⁣
The squad’s stifling third-quarter defense (holding Chicago to just nine points) sealed the deal in their largest win margin yet. 🔥⁣
⁣⁣
Next up: a home date with the Dream on Sunday. 🏀 #thegist⁣
