In search of the franchise’s first Commissioner’s Cup championship, Johannès wasted no time making her mark as she capped a scintillating first half when she took one dribble off an outlet pass from Courtney Vandersloot before pulling up and draining her fourth 3-pointer before halftime. In just 14 minutes off the bench, the reserve guard connected on 6 of 8 field goals — a scorching 5 for 7 from downtown — for a team-high 17 points to go with three rebounds and two assists as the Liberty won their seventh consecutive game to clinch the in-season title in a demonstrative 82-63 triumph on August 15, 2023. · State of Mint
