Paris double-double sends Shock to win

Against the visiting New York Liberty, Courtney Paris looked like the consensus four-time All-American who dominated at Oklahoma.

Paris finished with a career-high 16 rebounds and 12 points for her fifth double-double of the season, leading the Tulsa Shock to a second consecutive win, 72-57 over the Liberty.

A crowd of 4,542 for the matinee game at the BOK Center cheered as Paris returned to the floor in the final minutes. Her block of Cappie Pondexter’s shot with 2:40 left seem to deflate the Liberty, who fell to 3- 6.
