I think it was the 2nd unit's composition.

MM played most her early minutes with C. Ogwumike, K. Brown, R. Williams & A. Jones. Four new players and a late arrival with Williams.

They were a combined 2-20+ before they even passed MM the ball.Makes her next 2 threes. She stays in the game to play with the vets and the rest of the 2nd unit hit the bench where their play indicated they belonged.

I think Fischer is more pleased today with MM performance then he was with what LA's two trades and first round pick produced.

Williams is an enigma. Held the league single game scoring record, but more often shoot a poor FG% and has produced very little since 2015. Not sure what happens with her legal troubles. Hard to trade with off court issues combined with a higher end salary.
