Match Info

The Golden State Valkyries edged out the Washington Mystics in a defensive battle on July 19, 2026, claiming a 74–69 victory at Chase Center. The Valkyries used a strong second half and clutch free‑throw shooting to overcome a gritty Mystics squad, earning their third straight win in the Women’s National Basketball Association.

Match Overview

Neither team found much offensive rhythm early. The first half was a slugfest, with both sides struggling from beyond the arc and committing uncharacteristic turnovers. Washington led 35–32 at halftime behind balanced scoring and active defense. However, Golden State came out of the break with renewed energy, tightening their defense and executing in the half‑court.

The Valkyries outscored the Mystics 24–14 in the third quarter, flipping the game on its head. Washington fought back in the fourth, cutting the deficit to two points with under two minutes left, but Golden State held firm, hitting 6‑of‑8 free throws down the stretch to seal the win.

Key Moments

Third‑quarter turnaround: Golden State’s 11–0 run early in the third erased the halftime deficit and gave them control.
Clutch free throws: With 30 seconds remaining and a one‑possession lead, the Valkyries’ backcourt pair calmly sank four straight free throws to put the game away.
Defensive stop: Washington had a chance to tie in the final 10 seconds, but Golden State forced a contested three‑pointer that missed badly.

Standout Players

Golden State was led by Jewell Loyd, who scored 22 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and provided veteran leadership. Kiah Stokes was a force inside, blocking 4 shots and grabbing 13 rebounds. For the Mystics, Elena Delle Donne tallied 18 points and 9 rebounds, but she had little help offensively as Washington shot just 38% from the field.

Table & Season Impact

With the win, the Valkyries improved to 14–13, climbing into the sixth playoff spot in the WNBA standings. The Mystics fell to 12–15, dropping to ninth and putting their postseason hopes in jeopardy. Golden State’s defensive improvements – they held Washington to 69 points, well below their season average – bode well for their playoff push.
