On the court last night, Detroit barely got past Phoenix. The Shock had to come from behind to get the win.

Ford had 17 points and 15 rebounds. DeForge led the Mercury with 21, but she missed a shot at the end to tie the game.

Despite the loss, Coach Shumate was happy about his teams efforts. "Like the majority of the year, they gave it everything they had. Maybe we got a little tired down the stretch, but we played a great game. When your team plays like that, there is no criticism."
