Once again, the Sun almost beat Detroit. "Our plan was to get Margo in foul trouble and then attack the rim," Cheryl Ford explained.

It worked, just barely. The home team won despite 36% shooting, 21 turnovers, and a late comeback by the visiting team. "It could have been easy if we played better," coach Laimbeer declared.

The Sun have now lost three in a row. Can they play better with the people they have?
