Natasha Howard makes playoffs with 5th team
Volume 2 Issue 35
The best female basketball player ever from Toledo is looking to go after title number four with team number five. Howard has never missed the playoffs in her ten year career now that Dallas has clinched the No. 4 seed this past week.
Natasha Howard came to Dallas this season from New York via a five team trade in January. Howard has helped the Wings to their first winning season since their move to Dallas. The challenge now will be to get past the first round which is something the franchise hasn’t done since it’s move to the lone star state.
Howard has the 8th most rebounds in the league this season while having the 15th most points. Howard has had a statistically good season as well, recording her first career triple-double and twelve double-doubles.
