Scouting report

The Valkyries are 32–12, 2nd in the league standings, with a +9.1 net rating that ranks 1st of 15. Defense is the identity — 1st in defensive rating (99.1 per 100) against a 7th-ranked offense (108.2). They grind games down, slowest pace in the league. They stand out for three-point volume (13.7 makes a game, 1st) and forcing turnovers (opponents give it away on 19.2% of possessions), with no statistical category near the bottom of the league. Scoring is spread around — Gabby Williams leads at 14.4 a game, but no one accounts for more than 15% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Veronica Burton as the one they can least afford to lose — +14.1 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 9-game winning streak (Jun 24–Jul 18) and a 27-point rout of the Sun on May 25. The lows: a 19-point loss at the Aces on Jun 21. They are 14–8 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a legitimate title contender without an obvious hole.
