A look at every WNBA triple-double in league history
Deanna Nolan (11 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists) (May 21, 2005)
After the Shock were victims to two triple-doubles, Deanna “Tweety” Nolan made sure they were the beneficiary of one. At home to open the season against the Connecticut Sun, Nolan had the unenviable task of trying to make up for the injured Swin Cash.
“I basically told Deanna she was playing for me and her,” Cash told the Detroit Free Press after the game. “She needed to get twice as many.”
While her scoring did not double, she more than made up for it elsewhere, adding 10 rebounds and 11 assists to her 11 points. Unaware of the mounting accomplishment, she grabbed her 10th rebound with 15.7 seconds remaining as the Shock closed out the 78-67 win over the Sun.
