with 10 or more playoff appearances.
DT 7K: Diana Taurasi became just the third player in

the June 24 game in Washington. Taurasi reached
the milestone on a 30-foot three-pointer with 1:09
remaining in the third quarter. Not only did she reach
the 7,000 point barrier, but she became the fastest
player ever to surpass it, doing so in 348 career games
(Tina Thompson reached it in 460 games and Tamika
Catching reached it in 428 games). Neither Maya
Moore or Elena Delle Donne, two of the league's
most prolific scorers, are on pace to reach 7,000
career points in fewer games than Taurasi. Diana
finished with 27 points in the game, as the Mercury
topped the Mystics 91-79.

back a combined four medals. Along with Sue Bird and
Tamika Catchings, Taurasi won her fourth consecutive
gold medal, joining Teresa Edwards and Lisa Leslie as
the only four-time gold medalists in the event in our
nation's history. Taurasi led the Americans in scoring
(15.6 ppg) and shot a staggering 57.9 percent (33-of57) from the three-point line over USA's eight games.
She broke American record in three-point field goals
made in a single game (6) and a single Olympics (33).
Griner played in her first Olympics this year, averaging
4
9.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. She recorded
a double-double against China on August 14, scoring
18 points and grabbing 13 rebounds. Also in their
first Olympics were Petrovic and Xargay. Petrovic
scored in double-figures in all eight games, leading
bronze-medalist Serbia to its first Olympic medal
in women's basketball. Xargay, and silver-medalist
Spain, also won their first Olympic medal in women's
basketball. Xargay averaged 10.7 points in a reserve
role for Spain and notched four double-figure scoring
performances in Rio, including 12 points in the gold
medal game against USA. Taylor's final Olympics
ended in an upset loss to Serbia in the quarterfinals.
The Mercury forward helped lead Australia to a
perfect 5-0 record in group play and posted a 31-point
performance against France on August 9. It was the
most points an Australian women's basketball player
had scored since Lauren Jackson's 30 points in the
2008 Olympics. Depsite not making it out of group
play, Harding led Belarus in scoring (13.9 ppg) and
assists (5.0 apg). She ranked third in the Rio Games
