The Tulsa Shock showed clear offensive improvement in 2013 behind Glory Johnson’s inside scoring and rebounding, while Candice Wiggins provided perimeter shooting and secondary scoring. Rookie Skylar Diggins emerged as the team’s primary playmaker, and Courtney Paris added a strong rebounding presence in the frontcourt. Despite a balanced attack and respectable offensive production, defensive shortcomings prevented the Shock from translating their progress into a winning record.
