“That’s Unacceptable on Our End”: Valkyries Star Has It All to Blame on Team After Ugly Loss as Dream Force Game 7

Ahead of the 12:30 p.m. ET tip-off for Game 6, the Golden State Valkyries were on cloud nine after finding their defensive identity against the Atlanta Dream in Games 4 and 5 to forge a 3-2 lead in the WNBA Finals. However, head coach Karl Smesko gave the Valkyries a reality check at State Farm Arena right from the get-go. In the first quarter, the Dream scored a massive 32 points to the Valkyries’ 15, removing all hope of a comeback.
