Detroit cooled off the Sun's hot streak yesterday, sneaking out of Mohegan with a 1-point win.

Rebounding killed Connecticut; the Shock had a 37-22 advantage.

Coach Thibault: "All we needed was one more stop, one more rebound and the game's over. We didn't get it."

Coach Laimbeer: "I thought Connecticut played spectacular for a tremendous part of the game. Our sheer will is what won the game."

After the game, Thibault had some complaints about Detroit's physical play and the foul calls. Swin Cash had a simple retort: "This is professional basketball. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen."
