Diana Taurasi Notches Career-High Eight Threes in Rout vs Aces

Diana Taurasi only took 13 shots in the Mercury's 117-91 rout of the Aces Thursday night.

No matter who was guarding her, the 10-time All-Star was in the zone, knocking down a career-high eight three pointers off 10-of-13 shooting from the floor.

Taurasi, who recently returned from an ankle injury, finished with 37 points, six rebounds and one assist in the Game 2 semifinal victory.

Taurasi, who scored 17 of her 37 points in the first half, finished the game one three pointer shy (9) and five points away from eclipsing WNBA playoff records for long range jumpers and points in a playoff game.
