"I think I was just put in the perfect position," Copper said of how she filled an obvious need at the wing spot for Phoenix."My offseason was big. I took pride in being a three-level scorer, but I wanted to be more consistent. Seeing this roster, and understanding this was who I wanted to play with ... it's like we've been together forever."
Phoenix's Kahleah Copper joined Liz Cambage as the only WNBA players to score 35-plus points in back-to-back WNBA games. "Credit to the group continuing to believe, not hanging their head when BG went down," Tibbetts said."I think the team feels is the hot player now -- she's getting downhill, she's being extremely aggressive."
