Mercury’s Diana Taurasi weds ex-teammate Penny Taylor
PHOENIX — Diana Taurasi has married former Phoenix Mercury teammate Penny Taylor, then played in the team’s season opener less than 24 hours later.

The 34-year-old Taurasi has played for the Mercury since 2004, helping the team win three titles. She also helped the U.S. win four consecutive Olympic gold medals.

The couple married Saturday.

Taurasi signed a multi year extension today, probably keeping her a Phoenix Mercury until retirement.

Awesome!

Great win tonight. Griner could NOT be stopped. She was aggressive in the paint and on the boards (had a double double tonight). Awesome first win.

 

[Ronin]

1-1 on the season.
I saw that Griner had 21 points at halftime. Glad she had a good game.

Shot clock violations drive me nuts. No reason for it!
