The Fever lost to the Valkryies 88-77 in the first meeting between the two franchises, and the Fever's first game at the Chase Center, also home to Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Golden State (6-6) entered the game with the same record as perennial title contenders, the Las Vegas Aces, who the Fever visit at 3 p.m. Sunday.

Sophie Cunningham sent a message in the closing seconds of the Fever’s victory over the Sun on Tuesday. Cunningham tackled Connecticut’s Jacy Sheldon as she drove to the basket for a layup with the Fever ahead by 17 with 46 seconds left.
