Taurasi was back to her dominant self, scoring a playoff career-high 37 points Thursday, after limping through Game 1 and the early rounds of the WNBA playoffs with an ankle injury.
In a wire-to-wire demolition, the No. 5-seeded Mercury took a 117-91 win over the No. 2 Las Vegas Aces to even their WNBA semifinal series at 1-1.
Tauarsi was 10-of-13 from the floor and 9-of-9 from the free-throw line. She was lethal from deep, knocking down eight 3-pointers. She added six rebounds to her stellar line.
Why can't old people dream, indeed.
