Storm's Dominique Malonga makes WNBA history in playoff debut

How do you say impressive in French? Because that was Dominique Malonga in her playoff debut for the Seattle Storm on Sunday.

While the Storm lost to the Las Vegas Aces, 102-77, in Game 1 of their best-of-three series, Malonga held her own against her much experienced opponents.

The 19-year-old rookie from France finished with a double-double of 12 points and 11 rebounds on top of two steals and a block in 24 minutes off the bench.

She was a bright spot in their embarrassing defeat. In fact, she became the first teenager in WNBA playoff history to have a double-double, according to PolyMarket Hoops. Malonga also set the team record for most offensive rebounds by a rookie in a playoff game with four.
