Reigning MVPs don’t waste time getting to work. Showing the effect a dominant beginning can have on a game’s outcome, the Connecticut Sun standout wastes no time cooking up a masterpiece, confidently rising up and draining a triple in the face of a defender who gave Jones just enough of an opening to take the shot. The Sun took a 21-point lead into halftime thanks to Jones’ brilliant 18-point, nine-rebound first half, and she finished with a game-high 21 points and 10 boards — along with two assists and three triples — in her squad’s convincing 97-71 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks on August 9, 2022. · Aug 10, 2022
