Not so fast, my friend! On a night when her New York Liberty squad set a franchise single-game scoring record, Natasha Howard was there to also ensure all windows and doors were deadbolted on the defensive end. When a Las Vegas Aces ball handler drops a pretty bounce pass to a cutting teammate in the paint, Howard is there waiting, standing tall and earning an emphatic one-handed swat. Howard’s lone rejection bookended an overall solid performance, contributing 18 points, six rebounds, three assists and a three-pointer in the Liberty’s 116-107 road triumph. · Jul 7, 2022
