Minnesota Lynx and Golden State Valkyries head-to-head record
The Minnesota Lynx defeated the Golden State Valkyries 86-75 in their lone prior meeting of the season on June 2, 2025, demonstrating their depth on offense and defensive dominance. The Lynx will probably try to duplicate that recipe, with Napheesa Collier spearheading the charge and the team having the best field goal percentage and defensive rating in the league. The Valkyries are coming off a huge victory and have improved their dominance on the rebounds, but their offensive efficiency is still an issue. The Lynx have a good chance of duplicating their previous triumph if they can maintain tempo control and pressure the Valkyries into low-percentage shots like they did the prior time. But if the Valkyries can cut down on turnovers and take advantage of second-chance opportunities, their recent momentum and rebounding advantage might keep the game close.
