UNCASVILLE, Conn. — There’s something about overtime basketball in Connecticut. Those five extra minutes bring out something special in the Sky and Courtney Vandersloot.
In Game 1 of the semifinals last year against the Connecticut Sun, Vandersloot had the second triple-double in WNBA playoff history in the Sky’s OT win at Mohegan Sun Arena. On Sunday, she passed Lindsay Whalen (2,348) for third on the league’s all-time assists list (2,350) and had 16 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds. Her 2,349th assist came on a pass to Emma Meesseman in overtime.
