Sophie Cunningham points to Fever’s problems after loss to Valkyries
The Indiana Fever dropped to 14-10 on Wednesday night after a tough loss to the Golden State Valkyries.
The Fever entered the game on a high after winning back-to-back games and going 3-1 in their recently concluded four-game road trip. The Valkyries brought them back down to earth, though, as Indiana suffered an 88-75 home loss at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Sophie Cunningham’s contributions were not enough. The 6-foot-1 guard logged 10 points, two rebounds, four steals and two triples off the bench, but as a unit, the Fever just struggled to keep up the pace with a red-hot Valkyries side.
This win marked Golden State’s eighth consecutive victory — a franchise best — as it improved to 18-7 on the season.
Sophie Cunningham reacts to latest Indiana Fever loss
Cunningham got brutally honest as she spoke to the press after the loss. When asked what she felt went wrong against the Valkyries, the eight-year veteran highlighted the Fever’s problems during the game.
“I think we had a little bit too many turnovers,” she said. “They definitely slowed the pace down. And at the end of the day, we’ve got to play what works for us. We got to keep our pace high. We’ve got to play our defensive schemes, take care of business on the defensive end, get boards, and run.
“That’s what we’re good at. We have great people who are awesome in the open court. And so I just think we lacked pace tonight, honestly.”
As Cunningham said, Indiana’s 15 turnovers on the evening were a major issue. It also didn’t help that they shot 40.1% from the floor as a unit. As the 29-year-old pointed out, the Fever allowed the Valkyries to dictate the pace throughout the contest.
The silver lining for Indiana is that they have an immediate chance to get back on track. They return to action on Friday in a home game against the Seattle Storm. That will be followed by another matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday against the New York Liberty.
As of this writing, the Fever are sixth in the standings, tied with the 14-10 Atlanta Dream.
