Garrett Gonzales, Brian Gonzales, and Conrado Pascual sat down with Golden State Valkyries radio broadcaster Kevin Danna to break down where the team stands in year two. They went over the Valkyries' last two wins — a road win over the Dallas Wings and Sunday night's statement victory in Los Angeles — and what it means for the team's championship aspirations this season. Kevin gave an inside look at how the team thinks title expectations, then shifts to broadcasting life: what it's really like calling play-by-play, how he preps for a broadcast, and what goes into building a broadcast identity around a team still growing into itself. 

Last Time Out

Valkyries: Golden State beat the Los Angeles Sparks 84-78 on Sunday, blowing most of a 19-point lead before holding on. Cecilia Zandalasini went 5-for-5 from three for 15 points, and Tiffany Hayes added 14.

Sky: Chicago fell to the Seattle Storm 97-88 on Monday, as the Storm snapped an 11-game losing streak behind Dominique Malonga's 26 points and 10 rebounds.

A Rematch After Chicago's May Upset

These teams have only met once this season, and Chicago won it — a 69-63 result back on May 13 that remains one of the Valkyries' more surprising losses. A lot has changed since then, including Chicago's roster; the Sky have struggled to find consistency and enter tonight losers in four of their last five. Golden State will look to even the season series before the teams meet a third time on August 21 in Chicago.
