The "unstoppable" duo of Deanna Nolan and Cheryl Ford were too much for the Sting and the Shock overcame a five point second quarter to defeat the Sting, 81-71.

Nolan scored 26 points (20 of those in an 11 minute stretch) and Ford added 13 points and 18 rebounds to lead the Shock. "She took the game over. She can do that. Her teammates were looking for her, too. They set screens, and she took advantage of them," according to Bill Laimbeer.
