Game Two plus/minus and commentary from Paul:

Sacramento

Starters: Griffith 0, Newton -2, Powell -3, Brunson -16, Penicheiro -20

Reserves: Walker +8, Lawson +4, Haynie +4, Buescher 0, Maiga -4, Scott-Richardson -6

Connecticut

Starters: Dydek +13, Sales +11, Derevjanik +7, Douglas +6, McWilliams-Franklin +3

Reserves: Wyckoff +3, Carey 0, Jones -8

Egregious numbers from starters Penicheiro and Brunson stymied another solid effort from the Sacramento bench. Now that the Monarchs have suffered their first loss of the postseason, will Whisenant shuffle the lineup? The Walker/Griffith duo was +18 in regulation on Thursday, as Sacramento outscored Connecticut 55-37 in the 24:37 they were on the floor together before OT...

A shortened Sun rotation saw Dydek essentially left out, but she posted a +13 in just 10:25 of duty. Interesting move by Thibault in shifting many of those leftover minutes to Wyckoff rather than Jones, who is -12 in the series thus far. Connecticut has scored just 56 points in 41 minutes with Jones on the floor, compared to 86 points in the 44 minutes she's been on the bench...
