The Stars are feeling good after a couple wins. Yesterday's game was a matter of fighting back and surviving.

The Sparks, on the other hand, find themselves in an unexpected and undesirable position: they now must fight to hold on to home court advantage in the playoffs. (But their record is actually better on road -- maybe 3rd place is a good thing?) Coach Cooper is not happy: "I'm frustrated because I never think I've seen a Spark team not want to compete every minute out on the court." Vanessa Nygard was the exception, and she might start getting more time.
