The Storm's loss to the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday night ended a ride she has shared with Taurasi, also a Connecticut alum. “Looking back on it, it’s been incredible to be in a job with your best friend for 20 years,” Taurasi said. “You don’t get to do that, most people don’t get to do that in any job, let alone basketball. So, it’s been an incredible journey.” (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall, File)
