Smith gets WNBL Round 2 POTW

Deanna Smith has been named the Nivea Player of the Week for Round 2 in the Australian Defence Force Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) off the back of a triple-double that led the Perth Lynx to their first win of the season.

Smith posted 36 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists in Perth's 101-95 victory. She added four steals to her tally and was lethal from the charity stripe converting 17/18 free throws, including four in a row with the game in the balance.

The 179cm guard has returned to the ADF WNBL with a bang after three years overseas; she starred for Perth in Round 1, grabbing 39 points over two games on the road.
Also notable:
Adelaide Lightning: Adding to her career-high 32-points, Jess Foley grabbed 5 rebounds and four 3-pointers.
Nice numbers from both Smith and Foley. Abby Bishop got a mention too for 15 and 13 against Sydney.
