The Valkyries shot 30.3% from the field in the first half and trailed by as much as 11. Janelle Salaün and Tiffany Hayes combined to score 16 points to keep the Valkyries within striking distance as the Wings took a 36-30 lead at halftime.

Dallas shot over 40% for the fourth straight game and made double-digit threes, but had a tough time at the charity stripe.

Valkyries aim to reach .500 record against struggling Sun team on four-game losing streak, despite losing All-Star Kayla Thornton to season-ending injury.
