The Valkyries had their 6-game winning streak snapped by the best team in the WNBA — the Minnesota Lynx won 77-66 at Chase Center, and the Morning Roast isn't sugarcoating it. Seven of 37 from three. Gabby Williams one of seven. Ceci one of nine. When you live by the three, you die by the three — and last night the Valkyries died by it. Spadoni & Lubman gives credit to Minnesota: Napheesa Collier getting to the line, Kayla McBride hitting the night-night three to seal it, and rookie Olivia Miles going 8 of 10 before rolling her ankle. The Valkyries battled back in the third and fourth and were the better team in the second half — but down 21 at one point, it was too steep a climb. The Morning Roast's verdict: Valkyries are tier 2 until proven otherwise. Then the Giants pull off a win in Cleveland — Dylan Smith delivers a two-inning, five-strikeout save, and the Patrick Bailey trade regret debate officially heats up.
