Veteran forward Natasha Howard has built her reputation on playoff reliability and two-way impact. With the sixth-seeded Fever facing the heavily favored Aces in Las Vegas for Game 1 of their semifinal series, Howard set the tone early with aggressive rebounding and timely scoring. She elevates for this layup in transition, using her length to finish through contact as Indiana builds momentum in their eventual 89-73 upset victory. Howard delivered a crucial double-double with 12 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, anchoring a Fever defense that held Vegas to just 40.8% shooting. · Sep 21, 2025
