Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, June 19, 2007

Playing their second consecutive game without Cheryl Ford, the Shock held off the Sparks to move to 8-1 on the year.

Katie Smith led five players in double figures with 18, including seven in the final 2:22 of the game to help seal the victory.

The Shock looked to be in control of the game in the first half, but the Sparks used a strong third quarter to get back in the game. "We fought back, but they're the champs," LaToya Thomas said. "You've got to give it them. They had a run, we had our run, and then they had one more run."
