SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Kayla Thornton scored a
career-high 29 points to help the Golden State Valkyries beat
the Chicago Sky 83-78 on Friday night.
Thornton made her fourth 3-pointer with two minutes remaining to
give Golden State (7-8) a 78-70 lead. But Chicago (4-11) scored
the next four points, the last when Angel Reese grabbed an
offensive rebound and scored with 1:11 left.
Thornton was fouled with a second left on the shot clock and she
made 1 of 2 free throws for a 79-74 lead. Reese scored again
after another offensive rebound, but Tiffany Hayes sealed it
with two free throws.
Hayes finished with 13 points, Kate Martin had 11 and Kaitlyn
Chen 10 for Golden State.

rebounds for Chicago. Reese has had 15-plus rebounds in three
straight games.
Kia Nurse had 12 of her 17 points in the first half, and Rachel
Banham added 11 points for the Sky. Kamilla Cardoso did not play
because of an overseas commitment.
