The Comets started off the game a little sluggish, but turned things around in the second quarter and never looked back as Houston swept the series with New York in a 72-58 win.

The 4,000th career point by Sheryl Swoopes was part of a 8-0 run by the Comets near the end of the first half to give Houston the lead for good. Tina Thompson led all scorers with 22 points and the Comets outshot the Liberty 53% to 37% for the game.

"Not a lot of good things happened out there tonight," Becky Hammon said. "We broke down offensively and defensively. We continue to talk about the snowball effect, and it started to snow."
