Hey! It's Cookie O'Clock! You're tuned in to WNBA Dimes, the podcast where we serve up all things women’s hoops with a dash of style and flair. I'm Brooke, your guide through the thrilling world of the WNBA. Let’s dive into the action-packed Saturday games from July 12, 2025.

We had quite the lineup this weekend, starting with a surprising shake-up in the Midwest. The Chicago Sky took the Minnesota Lynx by storm, pulling off an 87-81 upset on the road. How did they do it? Ariel Atkins was hotter than a summer barbecue with 27 points, and the dynamic Angel Reese contributed a double-double. Meanwhile, Kamilla Cardoso returned to action, adding some serious interior muscle. Despite Napheesa Collier's valiant effort for the Lynx with her 26 points, the Sky held their ground and soared to victory. Sky fans, you’re smiling ear to ear right now!

Moving on to the West Coast, the Seattle Storm took on the Connecticut Sun. It started slow, like waiting for your coffee to brew, but the Storm turned up the heat late in the game. They unleashed a 24 to 13 point fourth-quarter surge to win 79-65. Gabby Williams was the spark with her go-ahead 3-pointer. It was a team effort with four starters hitting double figures. The Sun tried to shine with Tina Charles leading their charge, but Seattle’s defense was tighter than my favorite pair of jeans after the holidays.

And in Las Vegas, the Aces and the Golden State Valkyries gave us a nail-biter! It was the kind of game that makes you glad for popcorn and comfy seats. A’ja Wilson, back from a wrist injury, was in full beast mode with 34 points and 16 rebounds. Jackie Young stole the show late with the final 10 points to snatch a 104-102 win over the Valkyries. Despite a franchise record-breaking night for Golden State, it was Young’s cool clutch play that sealed the deal.

Now, let's talk Player Spotlight, where we give props to those who deserve a little extra love. First up, A’ja Wilson – her 34-point masterpiece was not just impressive, it launched her up the all-time scoring list! Also shining bright, Kamilla Cardoso, who returned for the Sky like a superhero, giving them the edge they needed. Finally, Veronica Burton of the Valkyries showed off her all-around skills, nearly snagging a triple-double. Talk about versatility!

Looking ahead, the WNBA schedule doesn't slow down. Tomorrow, the Sun continue their tough road stint against the Sparks, and the Storm will host the Mystics. With playoff positioning on everyone’s mind, expect intensity levels to be through the roof.

That's it for today! Remember, WNBA Dimes has got you covered with the best moments on and off the court. Keep your sneakers laced and your spirits high because we’ll be back with more exciting updates. Until next time, keep shooting for the stars!
