What happened: The Golden State Valkyries made their holiday-weekend arrivals ahead of Saturday's Fourth of July game, continuing the team's Rakuten-partnered arrivals series. The league amplified the moment as part of its holiday slate coverage.

Why it matters: Golden State sits at 14-7 this season and enters the holiday matchup having won three straight before its recent two-game skid. The Golden State Valkyries lead the series 2-0 heading into Saturday's game, and the team has been one of the league's stingier defensive outfits.

What to watch: Tip-off comes later Saturday as part of the WNBA's holiday slate. Watch whether Golden State's defense travels and extends its edge in the series.
