The Valkyries recovered behind 13 first half points from starting center Temi Fagbenle. The 6-foot-4 center had 13 points, which included hitting two of her three 3-point attempts, to lead Golden State in the first half. Prior to Friday’s game, Fagbenle had just three made 3s in her WNBA career.

The Los Angeles Sparks stunned a sold-out crowd at the Chase Center and beat the Valkyries 84-67 in the club’s first game as a WNBA franchise. The Valkyries set a record with 18,064 fans in attendance for their opening game as the 13th franchise in the league — which marked the highest attendance for any team in its debut game.

Plum shines in her Sparks debut with 37 points, including 26 in the second half, as the Sparks hand Golden State an 84-67 loss in its inaugural game.
