Houston built a big lead in the first half and ended up winning by 15, but it got a little too close in the fourth quarter for the Comets liking in a 85-70 win over the Sting.

The Comets had a 17 point lead cut to a point in the last quarter before pulling away with a 15-2 run. "That was not a 15-point win tonight — I can tell you that right now," Van Chancellor said. "The scoreboard said it was 15, but in my heart it did not feel like it was 15."

The play of Sancho Lyttle was pivotal in the last four minutes of the game when the Comets went on their final run. Chancellor added that "I just told Sancho that these were the best four minutes of basketball she's ever played as a Comet. Unbelievable. She had every statistic possible." Lyttle finished with four points, three rebounds and four steals.

Tina Thompson was battling a flu, but still led all scorers with 22 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter. The Sting lost for the fifth straight game and finished with 25 turnovers.
