Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

What a night.

Penicheiro hit the game-winner with two seconds left to put Sacramento up by 2. Swoopes drove the floor and shot, but it clanked out. Sacramento advances.

It was a miracle for the Monarchs: "Hallelujah and praise the Lord," said Penicheiro, who had scored only one point before the fateful basket. "I refused to go to overtime. I hadn't made a basket all night, and they weren't expecting me to shoot. I decided to take it and, thank God, it went in."

Yo had an amazing game, with 27 points and 17 rebounds.
