Connecticut Sun vs Golden State Valkyries Final Score & Over/Under Result — May 25, 2026

Golden State's 27-point victory over Connecticut came down to a dominant second half, as the Valkyries pulled away to win 97–70 with a combined 167 points that sailed 8.5 points over the 158.5 market total.

The opening quarter set an aggressive tone, with both teams combining for 49 points in Q1. Connecticut kept pace early behind Aneesah Morrow's 11 points and 10 rebounds, while Golden State's Gabby Williams led with 15 points. But the Sun stalled badly in the second quarter, scoring just 8 combined points as the teams combined for only 28 in Q2—the lowest-scoring period of the night. That collapse shifted momentum decisively. Golden State's Kaila Charles (12 points, 7 rebounds) and Veronica Burton (11 points, 6 assists) accelerated the Valkyries' pace in the second half, combining for 70 points over the final two quarters while Connecticut managed only 40. The third quarter yielded 44 combined points, and the fourth added another 46 as both benches stayed engaged. Connecticut's recent defensive struggles—allowing 87.7 per game over its last 10—proved costly against a Golden State squad averaging 76.2 points in that span. The over cashed decisively on a game shaped by Connecticut's offensive collapse in the second quarter and Golden State's relentless execution thereafter.
