A bunch of missed shots sank the Storm last night. As a team, they shot only 29%. Betty Lennox, who has been performing pretty well this year, showed her bad side last night: 4-for-14, 0-for-8 from outside.

LJ was worse, shooting 4-for-20. "As a team we played much more together, but we didn't shoot the ball well," she said. "Especially me."

The Sparks weren't happy about the officiating. The calls were evenly distributed, but there were just too many of them (52!), slowing the home opener down to a miserable crawl.

"The officiating is what it is," coach Cooper said. "It's not good in the NBA and it's not good here."

Leslie tried another dunk on a breakaway. She missed.
