- Golden State defeated Los Angeles 78-58 at Chase Center in San Francisco on Monday, June 15, 2026.
- Plum, who was averaging 26.6 points before the game, scored nine points, shot 3 of 10 and took only 10 attempts, tying her season low.
- Gabby Williams said she pressured Plum as far from the basket as possible, while coach Natalie Nakase said picking her up across the full court had not been part of the game plan.
- Kaila Charles scored a season-high 13 points off the bench and joined Williams, Kiah Stokes and Kayla Thornton in providing defensive support.
Picking up 94 feet, that actually wasn’t on the report, so she went above and beyond with that.— Natalie Nakase, Valkyries coach, said after the game.
