Player Of The Game: When a pair of players score 20-plus points, it's up for debate, but it was good to see Angela Rodriguez hit for a season-high 23 points, just off her career-best of 25 points. She scored 17 in the first half alone, ending the night 7-for-11 from the floor to go with 5-for-9 from distance.
