Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, August 20, 2006

The outcome was not decided in the first quarter like game one, but the Monarchs still rolled to an easy 92-64 victory. The win eliminated the Comets and ended the playing career of Dawn Staley.

Sac was nearly flawless on both ends of the court and again put on a clinic with stifling defense, great passing and accurate shooting. "I have never seen anything like this," admired former Monarch Ruthie Bolton. "I am standing here, and I still can't believe what we just saw."

Yo set the tone early on the inside and scored a game high 17 points, but everyone on the deep Monarchs roster made an impact. "To me, today, (the Monarchs) have the best team in the league," Houston coach Van Chancellor said. "If Sacramento shoots the ball as well as they shot the ball against us the last two games, there's no one going to beat them and they'll repeat as WNBA champions."
