Veronica Burton achieved 22 to lead Valkyries to the first victory of expansion franchise, 76-74 via Mystics

San Francisco-Veronica Burton made a 3 pointer with 1:38, another 29 seconds ahead of 22 points, nine rebounds and five templates and led the Golden State Valkyries to the first victory of the expansion franchise with a 76-74 win against the Washington mystics on Wednesday evening.

Kayla Thornton converted a four-point game with 1:03 on the left and scored 18 points for the Valkyries, which was fired by a dancing Golden State Warriors Guard Brandin Podziemski among the rough sales quantities. The streamers rained down after the last buzzer sounded.

Sonia Citrons 3 for Washington, which is 5 seconds ahead, made it interesting.

Brittney Sykes scored 30 points and converted two free throws with 1:58 to bring Washington in the lead, but the Valkyries struck all major shots against a nasal injury in the last few minutes after the loss of Wachmann Tiffany Hayes.

Burton was committed to a Stephen curry-like 3 pointer to defeat the half-time horn and to bring the Golden State 31-30 in the lead during the break.

Janelle Salaun scored 10 points and scored an important rebound in the dwindling moments, while she made her WNBA debut for Beretta Family Schio of an MVP ceremonies from the Italian league and the final. Her 3-pointer with 2:07 in the first half was the first, after 17 flours of depth to start the game.

Hayes was helped in front of the square at the end of the second quarter and did not return after he had brought an arm from Washington's Shakira Austin in the face and went down for a few minutes.

She gave up a thumb after helping her from the square and went into the backlog with a towel in the face.

Golden State started his first season and played only 7 out of 37 of great reach in the Chase Center, where the NBA Warriors are at home.
