Golden State’s reserves supplied a 27–7 scoring advantage over the Las Vegas bench Sunday, Oct. 4, helping the Valkyries open their WNBA semifinal series with a 71–60 victory at Chase Center.

Kaitlyn Chen scored 11 points, while Aminata Gueye added nine on 4-for-5 shooting. Seven of Gueye’s points came in the third quarter, according to Golden State’s match report.

The extra scoring support complemented a 25-point, 11-rebound, five-assist performance from Gabby Williams. Kiah Stokes collected 14 rebounds as the Valkyries limited Las Vegas to 33.9 percent shooting.
