The Valkyries rallied from a 14-point halftime deficit and tied the game two separate times in the second half, but fell just short in the end as Laeticia Amihere’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer cut the Los Angeles lead from four the clock hit zeroes.

The Golden State Valkyries will hit the court for the very first time when they face the Los Angeles Sparks tonight.

The Valkyries showed they have some grit in their first-ever game after mounting a comeback in the second half of their preseason match-up against the Sparks.
