Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, July 23, 2003

Last night's game between the Sparks and Mystics was an intriguing match-up. The Sparks are one of the league's best teams, but after losing Leslie to injury, they had lost 2 in a row. The Mystics have been one of the league's worst teams this year, but since the break, they've won 3 in a row.

The Mystics led for much of the game, but the Sparks pulled it out. Holdsclaw had another great game -- 24 points and 17 rebounds -- and Asjha, Coco, and Stacey all did well too. But Washington couldn't stop Milton and Mabika.

The Milton-Holdsclaw match-up was intense. Holdsclaw dominated in the first half, but Milton came out angry in the second. Said DeLisha: "When it comes down to a matter of heart, I know that I have it over her. She may have youth, but I have heart."
