Aerial Powers

Never underestimate the impact a halftime buzzer beater can have on a basketball game. Perhaps prophesying that every bucket would matter in a matchup ultimately requiring two overtimes, Aerial Powers grabs an inbound pass before urgently racing up the floor. A blanket of three Phoenix Mercury defenders meets her on the other end, but the Minnesota Lynx forward still manages to bypass everyone standing in her way to bury a running three-pointer just in the nick of time. This opportune triple provided a two-point halftime cushion for the Lynx and Powers, who posted career highs of 35 points and 13 rebounds to go along with three assists and two steals in the marathon 118-107 win.
