Game 2 was a total team effort from Dallas, as they were exceptional in every aspect of the game and also played with more energy and intensity on both ends of the floor. Kayla Thornton had 20 points, 5 rebounds, and four assists. Allisha Gray had 15 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and even had 3 steals. Lastly, Teaira McCowan had 17 points and 11 rebounds. These three players had very impressive performances.
A player to keep a lookout for, Kayla Thornton. She is one of the WNBA’s more underrated players, but her value mostly comes from her defense and versatility. She is not the strongest when it comes to scoring however, in game 2, Thornton pulled off one of the best offensive games of her career to help the Wings get the season saving win. Thornton shot three straight 3 pointers to get the Wings ahead to an early double digit lead. From there the rest was history.
Tip off for game 3 is at 8pm tonight,CT at College Park.
