Reshanda Gray's eyes light up after seeing Cal flashback video
Atlanta, GA -- Reshanda Gray's first career double-double with the Dream came as Atlanta took on the Dallas Wings at the McCamish Pavilion on Georgia Tech's campus on Friday Night. Gray finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds while playing 28 minutes - all being her career highs.
...
Ironically, her time at California ignited her performance today against the Wings.
Coming off the bench, Gray had nine points alone in the first quarter, and continued scoring until she had reached the 22-point mark and racked up seven rebounds by the end of the third quarter.
"Today actually, my college posted a ‘Flashback Friday' video of my highlights and that really put that motor under me, and I just got my mojo back - and I was like, ‘I'm going to go until someone stops me,'" Gray said.
