“It was a cool night — you couldn't have wrote this any better for our fans and our city,” Taurasi said. “I'm really thankful for my teammates because moments like this, it's everyone's moment. They really came with me and wanted me to do it tonight.”
Diana Taurasi received a pass and in an instant, the shot was off her fingertips. It was a 3-pointer that splashed through the net, just like so many others.
It was a vintage performance from Taurasi, who reminded everyone just how incredible she's been in her career with a season-high 42 points on 12 of 21 shooting, including 6 of 13 from 3-point range. She also hit all 12 of her free throws and the Mercury won 91-71. Taurasi got her scoring started Thursday with a corner 3-pointer about two minutes into the game and then drove through the Atlanta defense for a layup a few minutes later. She had 10 points by halftime.
