Aerial Powers scored 18 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and dished 3 assists for the Mystics in their Game 3, 81-76 WNBA semifinals loss to the Dream last Friday. Washington lost, but without Powers’ contributions, the Mystics may not have been in contention at all.
Powers’ energy and motor once she gets on the court. Se has yet to start a game for Washington this season, but that hasn’t slowed her down since she was acquired in exchange for Tayler Hill before the WNBA trade deadline.
I had a chance to speak with Powers after the Mystics’ 81-76 loss to the Dream on Friday in Game 3 of their WNBA semifinals series.
