One of the strengths of the Golden State Valkyries is indeed their depth; how deep it is; as evidenced by their league-leading bench scoring. And tonite it was the turn of veteran Tiffany Hayes to come up big; as she produced a twisty-turny 22-point performance to power the Valkyries to another big victory over one of the league's dark horses: Chicago Sky.
Unlike their previous win against the Los Angeles Sparks; which saw them lead comfortably from coast-to-coast; they actually struggled a bit in the early part of this one; before coming back to take control and eventually win by a comfortable margin of 20 points.
As usual, Hayes was abetted by the usual suspects of Gabby Williams, Veronica Burton and Cecilia Zandalasini; who all took their turn at beefing up the Golden State attack. For the Sky; they will regret not doing more when they had the chance; but in the end DiJonai Carrington couldn't continue her hot streak and they should really have went more with 6'7" center Kamilla Cardoso who had a decent size advantage over any of the Valkyrie bigs.
