The good news for Lynx fans is that Seimone started and played in yesterday's game against the Mercury. This despite her hip pointer injury she suffered in the last game. The bad news for Lynx fans is that even with Seimone on the floor, they could not stop Paul Ball.

Seimone finished with 23 points in just over 30 minutes of play and from radio game reports did not look to be in pain. The Lynx were up early in the game, but had a terrible second quarter to trail by 15 at the half. To the Lynx credit, they did not give up and eventually got within seven points with just over 4 minutes left in the game.

The Mercury once again got an impressive performance from Penny Taylor, who combined with Tangela Smith to score 52 points. "We're one of those teams that are really trying their best in the last 11 games to kind of step up and be consistent," Mercury coach Paul Westhead said. "Hopefully, consistently good. Consistently bad is a no-brainer."
