WNBA Streak Watch, Golden State Valkyries's Run Hits 6

Somebody is always rolling and somebody is always spiraling, that is what makes a league a league. Here is the current WNBA streak board, longest runs first.

As of this morning, eight different teams are riding runs of three or more in one direction or the other, a busy board by any standard.

Riding high

Golden State Valkyries just keep stacking, six wins in a row, the best active streak going. At some point a run stops being a coincidence and starts being a statement, and they are somewhere past that point.

Behind them, Las Vegas Aces have quietly won 5 in a row.

Add Atlanta Dream to the list too, 4 in a row.

Going the wrong way

The skid to watch belongs to Toronto Tempo, losers of six in a row. Runs like this always end eventually; the only question is how much damage gets done before they do.

Chicago Sky are on a slide of their own at 5 straight losses.

Connecticut Sun have lost 5 straight themselves, in case anyone at the cold end needed company.

At a glance

Every active streak of three or more, in one place:

One more thing

A 6-game run is long enough that it stops being a footnote and starts being the lead, expect it to come up in every broadcast until it ends.

None of these runs are forever. Enjoy them as stories, count them honestly, and remember the results table starts blank again tomorrow.

The schedule cooperates, too, Golden State Valkyries face Portland Fire next, so this story gets its next chapter almost immediately.
