Golden State Valkyries vs Connecticut Sun Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jul 10, 2026

Veronica Burton's command of Golden State's offense—17 points, 6 assists, and 3 rebounds—proved decisive in a second-half eruption that sent the Valkyries past Connecticut 79–64, a combined 143 that fell well short of the 153.5 market total. The game's texture shifted dramatically after halftime: the first half produced just 55 combined points, a sluggish 36 in Q1 and a meager 19 in Q2, but the second half accelerated violently into a 88-point affair, with Q3 alone totaling 43 and Q4 closing at 45. Golden State's third-quarter surge—24 points to Connecticut's 19—broke the game open, and the Valkyries' 25-point fourth quarter put it beyond reach.

For Connecticut, Diamond Miller led the Sun with 14 points, while Olivia Nelson-Ododa contributed a game-high 8 rebounds alongside 12 points and 4 assists. Janelle Salaun added 16 points and 7 boards for Golden State. The Valkyries, fresh off a 27-point loss to the same opponent on May 25 (that game totaled 167), recalibrated their defense and controlled pace in a way that kept scoring suppressed overall. DAGGER's pregame call for an over missed by 10.5 points, but a live adjustment cashed. Connecticut's recent form—84.8 scored per game over its last 10—proved optimistic; Golden State's stiffer defense kept the Sun well below that mark en route to what amounted to a second-half clinic in shot-clock management and efficiency.
