Katie Douglas wants a championship
From USA Today: “It’s hard to think you’re going to get more than four shots at a championship,” Douglas says. “And to come away empty-handed, watching the other team celebrate, while you’re sitting there with a towel over your head, it’s not a good feeling. But for me, at this point, it’s definitely motivation.”
She’s averaging 22 points per game — tops in the playoffs — through the first round.
