Storm Fall to Valkyries 91-80 Part 2
Additional thoughts, discussion, and interviews from Seattle's loss to GSV.
The Seattle Storm (0-1) opened the 2026 season with a 91-80 loss to the Golden State Valkyries (1-0). Gabby Williams returned to the Pacific Northwest, but it was Veronica Burton and Janelle Salaün who made the biggest splash for the Valkyries. Dominique Malonga led the Storm with 21 points. If you missed it, you can read the full game recap at the link below.
In Part 2, I wrote about how Game 1 played out as I expected, I discussed the Storm’s missing pieces, and asked if the Golden State Valkyries are going to ruin the WNBA. I’ve also included the post-game press conference audio interviews. That includes quotes from Jade Melbourne, Dominique Malonga, and Coach Sonia Raman.
