The Los Angeles Sparks still finished 22-12 and first in the Western Conference, but lost 3-0 in the semifinals of the playoffs, where she posted just 10.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per contest.
How did she respond? In the 2020 Wubble, she averaged 14.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.2 blocks while shooting 51/40/73.
Last night, she had her best game on her new squad, posting a season-high 23 points, accompanied by 12 rebounds and six assists while shooting 9-for-16 from the floor and 3-for-4 from three.
