The Shock improved to 5-0 at home behind strong play from Deanna Nolan and Cheryl Ford in a decisive 71-55 win over the Comets.

Nolan and Ford combined for 38 points and 21 rebounds and helped hold the Comets to season low point total. Bill Laimbeer commented after the game that Ford is "fun to watch," and "when Nolan plays at that level, she's the best player in the world."

As usual, Sheryl Swoopes and Tina Thompson led the Comets in scoring. But no one else on the team made more than two baskets and the team shot under 30% from the floor.
