Veronica Burton scored 25 points and blocked a career-best five shots as Golden State beat Indiana 90-88, surviving Aliyah Boston's missed turnaround at the buzzer.
Golden State's defense drove the result: the Valkyries finished with 11 blocks, held Caitlin Clark to 3-of-12 shooting, and forced two late turnovers from her in the final 1:32.
Gabby Williams added 19 points, six rebounds and six assists, while Janelle Salaun scored 19 off the bench for the Valkyries, who improved to 5-2.
Indiana's rally briefly put the Fever ahead after Clark's late 3-pointer and Boston's jumper, but the loss ended a three-game winning streak and dropped them to 4-3.
