Final Thoughts
In my opinion, the Storm should be able to get a win to avenge their loss to the Valkyries from earlier in the season. But I will take the points with Golden State in this contest. They have the best home-court advantage in the WNBA, routinely selling out Chase Center. That crowd support will help the Valkyries stay in this game throughout, and I can’t rule out the Valkyries getting another home win over Seattle here.
