Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, September 15, 2004

Houston kept its slim playoff hopes alive last night by beating the Lynx. Tina Thompson led with 27 points, but she gave all the credit to Octavia Blue, who played with the sort of energy and desperation the Comets needed.

"Oh, gosh, Octavia was kind of awesome," Tina said. "She gave us the energy that we needed and that we've been looking for. She did what she does every day in practice."

"We started off kind of flat, and when I got in the game," said Blue. "I just wanted to bring some energy to the team, just hustle and rebound. And everything else just kind of fell into place."
