Overview

• Golden State improved to 19-18 and holds a one-game edge over the Sparks for the eighth playoff spot, snapping a three-game skid in Arlington.
• Veronica Burton led the way with 25 points, 13 assists and four blocks, capping a 10-0 fourth-quarter surge that put the game out of reach.
• Kaila Charles, signed to a rest-of-season deal after hardship contracts and recently waived by Dallas, tied her career high with 16 points while taking the primary assignment on Paige Bueckers.
• The Valkyries hit a season-high 16 three-pointers (16-of-38) and limited Bueckers to nine points on 3-of-12 shooting, ending her 30-game double-digit streak to start her career.
• Dallas fell to 9-29 with a fifth straight loss, announced rookie JJ Quinerly is out for the season with an ACL sprain, and saw coach Chris Koclanes question officiating after Bueckers shot just two free throws and he received a technical foul.
