Not much drama Thursday evening:

1. The Sun crushed the Sky in Connecticut. Jia Perkins, however, scored 21 and hit five of six attempted three-pointers, and the Sky made a decent run against Connecticut's bench. Coach Cowens: "They're a better team... It's like an A team against a B team." (Or: like an expansion team against some All-Stars.)

The home team had fun. Phillips started alongside Whalen, who had a weird flight back from Seattle.

2. The Comets slaughtered the Lynx in Houston. Swoopes put the cuffs on Augustus; Her Majesty also led all scorers with 24. Van: "That looked like the Sheryl Swoopes defense that she played in 2000 [when] she was Defensive Player of the Year."

Mistie Williams got her first start; Ohlde continued her slump, with five points and three boards in 21 minutes. The young Lynx have just one win on the road this year.

Props to the Houston Chronicle, whose reporter liveblogged the game.
