Golden State Valkyries and Los Angeles Sparks head-to-head record
The Golden State Valkyries and the Los Angeles Sparks have won two of their last four games on the road, which points to a fiercely contested game. In their most recent meetings, the Valkyries have prevailed, winning back-to-back games in June and late May by scores of eight and nine points, respectively, demonstrating their ability to effectively finish games. However, earlier in the season, the Sparks demonstrated their ability to outscore the Valkyries by winning back-to-back games in May by utilizing their offensive firepower and clutch plays in close games. The game might go either way based on this pattern, but if the Valkyries can keep their defensive poise in the face of the Sparks' high-scoring onslaught, their recent momentum may give them a small advantage.
