Kelsey Plum got 10 shots. The Sparks got held to 58. And Coach Nakase couldn't stop smiling.
Natalie Nakase breaks down Golden State's defensive masterclass over the LA Sparks on June 15, 2026 — a game she calls the team's first full quality performance of maximum effort. Nakase credits Gabby Williams' relentless defense on Plum, Kaila's energy off the bench, and a roster deep enough to get 30 points from the bench unit alone.
Nakase also opens up about the honest conversations the coaching staff had with players over the past two days about what each one needs to bring their best effort — and gets emotional discussing Kate Martin's return to Ballhalla, calling her a special human being who made everyone around her feel important.
With four games in seven days and a tough road stretch behind them, the Valkyries look like they're finally putting it all together.
