Smith did not let Carrington down. The 6-foot-4 power forward powered the Golden Bulls to a closely-contested 103-98 win over Jiangsu Phoenix W. Smith finished the game with 23 points on 9-for-17 shooting and grabbed nine rebounds. The No. 2 pick in the 2022 WNBA draft scored a putback with 1:22 left to push her team to a 100-97 lead.
