Led by their Tamikas (Catchings and Whitmore), the Fever shut down the Silver Stars 62-53 to move to 2-0.

Catchings scored 23 points and grabbed 9 rebounds and Whitmore added 16 points in a game that was pretty ugly for both teams, but especially for San Antonio. Both teams shot under 40% and combined for only 17 points (with only five scored by SASS) in the second quarter.

"We didn't execute well offensively," coach Dan Hughes said. "Defensively, we gave ourselves a chance, but we didn't finish strong at the basket. In a game like this, you have to create chances for yourself, and you have to do that at the free-throw line."
