Nakase Went Off at Halftime — And the Valkyries Took It Personal

Kia went plus 30 tonight — and her first reaction was "I'm just shocked." That's the Valkyries in a nutshell right now. Kia and Janelle Salaün break down what happened after Toronto went on a 10-0 run to close the half — Coach Nakase called out the team's effort in the timeout, told them to get it together or go sit in the locker room, and the Valkyries took it personal. Fourteen threes as a team. Kia's blocks setting the tone from the first possession. Janelle on why Ballhalla makes the threes feel easier. And Kia on what can never change for this team: "We can't let our offense dictate our defense. From minute one to minute 40 — that's our staple."
