The Golden State Valkyries finally went into action on Tuesday night. They played their first preseason game at Chase Center in San Francisco. The WNBA’s newest team played against the Los Angeles Sparks.

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 as the clock hit zeroes.
