Diana Taurasi and the power of invincibility
“Taurasi is a scorer, a passer, but again, it was that inflection point where she pulled out precisely the right play to win the game, and it turned out to be a rebound. It was the confidence she’d instilled in Talbot, who did not hesitate followng her airballed 3, and hit the next one to tie the game. And then at the other end, after Williams missed, Taurasi did not scurry back on the rebound, instead challenging the massively larger 6-foot-6 Jonquel Jones and somehow ending up with the board, drawing the foul on Jones, an implicit message to everyone in the building: no one is taking this game away from me. This ball, this game, it is mine.”
