Charles tipped off her week with 23 points and 11 rebounds in a 79-69 loss to the undefeated Lynx on May 31.  Two days later she logged a 14-point, nine-rebound, six-assist effort in New York’s 91-59 home win over the Indiana Fever.  Charles capped her week with 19 points, 13 boards and three assists in an 86-78 road win over the Seattle Storm on June 5.
