In the season-opening loss Taurasi went off for 23 points, including going 7-11 from three in a flashback performance for the 42 year old in her 20th season. Taurasi might not be the same player she was in her prime, but is capable of bombing from three like she did in the first game of the season during any game this season.
Atlanta was led by Howard with 25 points, three assists, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks in the win, expanding her game. This is Howard’s third season in the WNBA after being selected first overall in 2022, winning Rookie of the Year and being named an All-Star in her first two seasons.
This is also a return to Phoenix for Charles, who did not fit well with the team and left after a quick stint. She opened the season with 21 points and 14 rebounds on 9-14 shooting from the field adding to her career point total as the fourth leading scorer in WNBA history.
