Johnston put up 19 points, nine rebounds and five assists in the Riders’ 92-78 win, grabbing four boards on the offensive end.
The Montana-born guard went 6-11 from the field, making both of her three-point attempts and going perfect on her five foul shots.
She made headlines with her one-in-a-million full-court heave, finding nothing but string from her own foul line to close the opening half.
