Although she had a great stat line, her effort was not enough to hold off a second-half comeback. Thomas recorded 16 of her 18 points in the first half of Sunday's contest, and her lack of production was mirrored by the rest of the team, who mustered just 22 points in the second half compared to Minnesota's 42.
