Last night, the Valkyries snapped their two-game skid, beating the Mercury behind a big night from Veronica Burton.
The win added to Golden State's standard-raising 2026 resume.

@nemchocke.bsky.social explains GSV's winning identity.
The Atlanta offense came alive on Saturday.
A high-scoring show against the Mystics had good vibes and big smiles flowing through all the Dream faithful.

Enjoy the best moments from Angel, Rhyne and the Dream.
She is (still) the M'VP. The ROY is in Minny.
A quarter of the way through the 2026 WNBA season, who else is leading the races for major awards?

@ecreates88.bsky.social touts A'ja's MVP case, analyzes Olivia's ROY cred and identifies the other front runners.
ICYMI (you didn't), Caitlin Clark and the Fever, at least temporarily, silenced the noise with a last-second win in DC on Monday, with CC draining the game-winning 3.

@zacklward.bsky.social was there to witness Clark's heroics, Indy's defensive improvement and more.
Thanks to standout performances from Paige, Azzi, Jess and Arike, the Wings have soared to a 7-3 start.
But for Dallas to really exceed expectations, another player is the X factor.

@zacklward.bsky.social sees Awak Kueir as the player who can take the Wings from good to great.
Did the Sparks just win a game with defense?
Yes, one of the WNBA's worst defenses was dialed in on that side of the ball, securing a Cup win over the Fire.

@ecreates88.bsky.social applauds LA's efforts, and wonders if they can keep it up.
The Fever desperately needed a win.
It shouldn't be surprising that Kelsey Mitchell helped deliver the dub, all while surpassing 5,000-career points.

How the keeper of the Fever culture came through for Indiana.
Everyone is excited about Paige, Dom, Sonia and Kiki.
But, the top picks from the 2025 WNBA Draft are not the only sophomores setting themselves up for long careers.

@ecreates88.bsky.social analyzes the progress and promise of 3 less-heralded WNBA sophs.
Familiar faces, new places.
Almost one month into the 2026 season, are WNBA stars that changed teams performing up to expectations?

@nemchocke.bsky.social looks at Angel in ATL, Skylar with Sky, Gabby with GSV and other newcomers.
No Phee, no problem?
The Lynx keep upending expectations and winning without their superstar. Last night, it was Olivia Miles who, again, proved ready to meet the moment.

@jfeltonnn.bsky.social on Miles and the other reasons why Minny is thriving.
