The Golden State Valkyries blew past the Portland Fire 95-77 in a fireworks-filled Commissioner’s Cup showdown, setting a franchise record with 18 three-pointers—including a blistering first-half barrage that put them firmly in control. Kayla Thornton led the charge with 19 points and 5 threes, while Janelle Salaun added 18 off the bench. Even with a questionable quad injury, Veronica Burton delivered 10 points and 9 assists in nearly 23 minutes. Portland’s Megan Gustafson couldn’t stem the tide, and a Flagrant 1 foul in the second quarter added some spice. Carla Leite, a former Valkyrie, contributed 10 points and 7 assists for Portland. The Valkyries now hit the road, facing Minnesota Thursday and Las Vegas Saturday, while the Fire head home to battle Phoenix Friday.
