In a huge game for both teams, the Liberty topped the Fever last night in OT.

"You lose and you're done," coach Coyle said. "We don't want to go home yet. They played their hearts out tonight."

Hammon had a big night, fighting hard to keep her team in the hunt, and finishing with 28 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals. "We had to crank it up a level tonight and we did that," she said. "This race is too close. We can't afford to slip up."

And in the blink of an eye, the Fever have fallen from the top of the East to the bottom.
