This has been Diana Taurasi’s third game since returning from her back injury, and tonight we saw her struggle. Last night was a big deal for the Phoenix Mercury and the win placed them in the 8th and final spot in the WNBA Playoffs. Taurasi managed to help out with four rebounds and eight assist. But left the court with scoring no points. Luckily, Brittney Griner managed to lead the team with 21 points along with four blocks and eight rebounds. Diana Taurasi Struggles to find her rhythm on the court.
Point guard Leilani Mitchell also helped lead the team to a big victory, scoring 11 points with three assist and three rebounds. DeWanna Bonner also showed up and showed out on the scoreboard, adding nine points along with eight rebounds and two assist.
All in all, this was a great game and an even better Victory for the Phoenix Mercury. These next few days of practice will be very crucial and important to them. We need to see some action and rhythm from Diana Taurasi on the court. After being gone for majority of the season. She is struggling to find her balance on the court.
Of course it’s all new to her because the team has adapted new ways for them to play without her. So therefore she’s still trying to see where she fits in. Hopefully with the playoffs right around the corner, she can get her rhythm back and help the team move up to victory.
Although her shootings been off, it’s still been a joy to see Diana Taurasi back on the court. She’s one of the greatest players to ever play in the WNBA. I’m sure once she finds her rhythm and where she belongs she will play a lot better. Everything takes time, and it’s going take more than just three games to get her back into that rhythm.
Diana Taurasi struggles to find her rhythem on the court. But let’s hope we can see her play a stronger and more powerful game in the playoffs. With the top two teams being the Washington Mystics and Connecticut Suns, the Phoenix Mercury will definitely have their work cut out for them.
