Kaitlyn Chen & Veronica Burton on a Career High, a Tough Loss & What's Next

The Golden State Valkyries left it all on the floor against the Mystics, and Kaitlyn Chen made sure it counted. Chen dropped a career high 20 points, with Veronica Burton right there alongside her all night. But Washington had an answer in the fourth quarter that Golden State couldn't solve, getting bigger and more physical inside on the way to a 36 point frame. "It's a tough pill to swallow," Burton said, "but we come back fresh." That mentality is exactly what defines this Valkyries team right now. No dwelling, no excuses. Just film, accountability, and getting back to work. With the All Star break now here, even Chen isn't sure when the next game lands. For Golden State, that's just fine. They'll be ready when it comes. 🔔 Subscribe for highlights, pressers, and everything Golden State Valkyries.
