On the opening play of the game Saturday, Candace Parker caught the ball at the top of the key from Courtney Vandersloot.
She squared up against her defender, Stefanie Dolson, before driving the lane for a layup that bounced off the rim and into the hands of Emma Meesseman on the weak side. Meesseman kicked it out to Kahleah Copper, who stood at the wing near their bench.
