BY THE NUMBERS
Minnesota 78, 74, 105.4, .500
Los Angeles 90, 76, 118.4, .632

Augustus is remarkably consistent and is a great offensive player. This was her second best floor % game with the other higher game coming against LA on May 31 with .842. Augustus is a solid player above the gold standard with pp100 119.79 and floor % with .578. The only other player to reach the 100/.500 mark is Nicole Ohlde 101/.515. The difference is Ohlde has a wide range of performance levels with a pp100 range from a low of 40 to a high of 163.6. Augustus has 50 to 200 range, but she only has had one game under 100--that sick game in San Antonio, Ohlde has had 7 under 100.
