Valkyries End Lynx Win Streak; Reese Sets WNBA Rebound Record

Published 25 August 2026

The Golden State Valkyries handed the Minnesota Lynx an 80-66 defeat on Monday night, snapping the league leaders' six-game win streak and keeping their own hopes for the No. 1 playoff seed alive. The victory, which took place in Minneapolis, marked the Valkyries' first-ever win over the Lynx after nine consecutive losses across two seasons. The Valkyries' league-leading defense was the decisive factor, holding the Lynx to 36% shooting from the field. Minnesota's offense was stifled, with star rookie Olivia Miles held to just 8 points on 3-of-12 shooting. Veteran Napheesa Collier was also limited to 9 points.
