Silver Stars win!!! (not a misprint)

"This is the best feeling in the world," said LaToya Thomas, who scored a career-high 26 points and 10 boards. "We are just so excited to win again. I really don't know how I can describe it."

Houston is essentially (though not quite mathematically) eliminated from the playoffs with the loss.

"It's all about pride," said Sheryl Swoopes. "And that's the position we're in right now. Regardless of our record. Regardless of whether we're going to make the playoffs or not. We should have pride to go out and compete every single night."
