LOS ANGELES (AP) Janelle Salaun had 21 points and eight rebounds, Kayla Thornton made a 3-pointer with 37.9 seconds left in overtime, and the Golden State Valkyries beat the Los Angeles Sparks 89-81 on Monday night.

Golden State dominated the rebounding 49-34, including 17-6 on the offensive end.
Los Angeles missed 8 of 9 field goals in overtime.
