Kaitlyn Chen & Veronica Burton on a Career High, a Tough Loss & What's Next

They competed. They fought. Kaitlyn Chen put up 20 — a career high — and Veronica Burton was right there with her. But the Mystics came with something in the fourth quarter the Valkyries didn't have an answer for. Went bigger. Got physical inside. Scored 36. "It's a tough pill to swallow," Veronica says — "but we come back fresh." That's the Valkyries right now. They don't dwell. They watch the film, they own what went wrong, and they get back to work. The All-Star break is here. Kaitlyn Chen doesn't even know when the next game is — and honestly, that's fine. They'll be ready when it comes.
