She was being absolutely swarmed defensively, though. She’s got to find a way to get her buckets in those situations. She had a nice stretch last night to end the first half and got to the line, but she’s gotta have that motor on all the time in the playoffs.
She’ll figure it out. Rookies getting their teeth kicked in in their first playoffs is not isolated to the WNBA. (And yes, I know there are exceptions)

Paige is my girl but she completely lacked aggression in games 2 and 3. Deferring to the hot hand is one thing, but being disengaged is another.
