The Mystics blew out the Aces, 95-72 on Thursday night with Elena Delle Donne scoring a season-high 29 points. It wasn’t just that Delle Donne scored 29 points though. Delle Donne managed to do it by dominating one of the WNBA’s top frontcourt duos in A’ja Wilson and Liz Cambage.
One of the advantages Delle Donne had against the likes of A’ja Wilson and Liz Cambage is her perimeter shooting. She shot 11-of-18 from the field and made 4-of-8 three pointers on Thursday night.
The other advantage Delle Donne brought to the table is her athleticism.
