Veronica Burton Records Statistical Feat in Valkyries vs Liberty<\/p>\n

Burton’s stat line was both efficient and rare. <\/p>\n

In 27 minutes, she generated 32 points for teammates with a plus-17 rating. She became only the third WNBA player this season to record 13+ assists with zero turnovers<\/a>, and just the second ever to do so multiple times, joining Chicago vet Courtney Vandersloot.<\/p>\n

Still, the win was far from a solo effort<\/a>. Cecilia Zandalasini led all scorers with 20 points, including four 3-pointers. Gabby Williams<\/a> added 16 with four of her own, and Tiffany Hayes scored 12 off the bench.<\/p>\n

New York Offense Struggles in Season-Low WNBA Performance<\/p>\n

New York, meanwhile, never found its footing. Sabrina Ionescu<\/a> managed just seven points on 2-for-12 shooting, including a 1-for-9 clip from deep. The Liberty shot 30.2% from the field overall. Their 60 points marked a season low, ending a 16-game streak of scoring 80 or more.<\/p>\n

With the win, Golden State improved to 28-11 and completed a 3-0 season sweep<\/a> of the Liberty. No other team has done that against New York this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Veronica Burton picked apart New York’s defense Thursday, dishing 13 assists without a single turnover as her stats…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":332084,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[124954,68628,9,11,8915,10,49,51,50,93858],"class_list":["post-332083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-2026-wnba-playoffs","tag-golden-state-valkyries","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-liberty","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news","tag-veronica-burton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=332083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332083\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/332084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=332083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=332083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=332083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
