Match Info

The Golden State Valkyries continued their impressive inaugural WNBA campaign with a commanding 88–75 road victory over the Indiana Fever on July 16, 2026. The win improved Golden State’s record to 14-6, while Indiana fell to 10-10 in a tightly contested Eastern Conference race.

Match Overview

From the opening tip, the Valkyries controlled the tempo, jumping out to a 24–16 lead after the first quarter. Indiana responded in the second period, trimming the deficit to 42–38 at halftime. However, a dominant third quarter from Golden State—outscoring the Fever 28–18—effectively sealed the result. The Valkyries’ balanced scoring and stifling defense proved too much for Indiana to overcome in the fourth.

Key Performers

Golden State Valkyries: Guard Lexie Hull led all scorers with 22 points (8-of-14 shooting), adding 5 assists and 4 steals. Center Elizabeth Kitley posted a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds.
Indiana Fever: Forward Alaina Hester scored 20 points and grabbed 7 boards, while rookie guard Caitlin Clark contributed 15 points and 8 assists in a losing effort.

Tactical Story

Golden State’s defensive switching flustered Indiana’s half-court offense, forcing 16 turnovers that led to 22 fast-break points. The Valkyries also dominated the glass (42–32 rebound advantage) and shot 48% from the field compared to Indiana’s 41%. Fever head coach Christie Sides rotated lineups but could never find consistent rhythm against Golden State’s length and athleticism.

Standings Impact

With the win, the Valkyries moved into second place in the Western Conference, trailing only the defending champion Las Vegas Aces. Indiana remains in fourth place in the East but only two games out of a playoff spot. The two teams will meet again in San Francisco on August 10.
