Yes and all the baloney about her weight is just that. Of course she is heavier than she was but it is her body type. She carries it well. After playing a bunch of minutes in this one look at how many she was able to score at the end. She hardly seemed winded.

I think she is definitely a bit heavier than she was in the fall before the injury, but I'm more focused on her foot speed and quickness rather than her wind per se. To me there is still a noticeable difference from November. It's going to take more time but she is making real progress game by game.

The rest of it, on offense at least, is mostly mental, deciding to be more aggressive and creating more opportunities for herself. It's a little more challenging when Stewie is going nuts because you expect players to feed the hot hand. As you pointed out, she started scoring when she was the primary threat on the floor, as we know she can.

Nice to see Banks get going at the end.

She showed great elevation on a couple of those drives late.........
