Veronica Burton's 13 assists with zero turnovers is the detail I keep coming back to from Golden State's 79-60 win over New York on August 27. The Liberty won second-chance points 16-10 and paint points 24-22, but Golden State still held an 18-point edge from three and swept the season series. That makes me wonder whether Burton's control kept producing the more valuable possessions, although the box score cannot prove it by itself. Did New York defend the right things, or did it win the least damaging parts of the possession battle? https://valkyries.wnba.com/news/gameday-recap-20260827
