Tyasha Harris · Unaware of her coaching staff’s decision to reward her with a Game Four start until the pre-game morning shootaround, Tyasha Harris spent the rest of October 6, 2024's evening delivering surprises of her own at the Minnesota Lynx’s expense. Quickly proving to be the exact offensive jolt the Connecticut Sun needed with its elusive title chase on ice, the smooth-shooting guard camps out near the left corner, poised to strike as her teammates work through a pick-and-roll. Suddenly uncovered following her All-Star teammate’s high-IQ screen, no-look pass combination, Harris lets fly her fourth 3-pointer of the game, this one propelling Connecticut to a 13-point cushion with under five minutes to play. Leaving behind a three-word postgame statement — “We’re not done” — that told the story of Connecticut’s resilient, season-saving win, Harris helped set the stage for a win-or-go-home matchup two nights later. Free of her once-nagging ankle injury, Harris, at a different level in the second half, found a signature postseason moment through a team-high 20 points (on 7-of-11 shooting), three assists, four 3-pointers, and a +10 plus-minus. · State of Mint
