The big Sue Bird homecoming was good for Sue, not the Sun. The Storm didn't play well, and Sue was shaky at times, with a bunch of turnovers in the second half. But she also had 15 points, 7 assists, 3 boards, and 3 steals, and the Storm won 67-65.
The game was decided in part by a key charging call against McWilliams-Franklin at the end. The Sun were not happy -- said Pee Wee: "It's about the players, not the ref. You don't make that call."
Despite the loss, this was probably the biggest game in the Sun's brief franchise history. It was a sellout crowd with a lot of fans who'd never been there before.
