Have you gotten used to it yet? That is, seeing Becky Hammon in the silver and black. The WNBA Peak Performer of the Week goes to the San Antonio Silver Stars guard who has her team off to a hot start.

Hammon led the Silver Stars to their first win of the season in the home opener on Wednesday night, a 74-71 win over the perennially-strong Connecticut Sun. After the Silver Stars got out to a big lead, the experienced Sun made a run of their own. But Hammon sealed the deal from the free throw line, going 9-for-10 from the charity stripe. In her second game of the week, an 82-71 win over the previously undefeated Seattle Storm, Hammon led all scorers with 21 points on 5-for-9 from beyond the 3-point arc. She also had nine assists, which was just one fewer than her longtime teammate Vickie Johnson.

But it was her third game of the week, last night in Houston, that was truly her best performance yet. She hit six 3's on 10-of-17 from the floor to score 26 points, but the nine assists for the second straight game and six boards were most impressive. With the 82-71 win over the Comets, the Silver Stars have won three straight and are currently tied with the Mercury for first place in the Western Conference.

As the floor leader on the surging Silver Stars (up to fifth in this week's Power Rankings), Hammon has been a flawless fit with the rest of the new pieces on the Silver Star roster and has San Antonio on pace to make the postseason for the first time since their arrival from Utah in 2003. Hammon is currently one of only three players to lead her team in scoring in each of her team's games this season (Seimone Augustus was another, and the last was actually her replacement in New York and Eastern Conference Player of the Week, Erin Thorn).
