What a night! Career and season scoring records for several players, playoff implications in every game, and (oh yeah) some close, gripping games on national TV. To see these two, though, you had to be in the stands:

1. LJ made her case for MVP by tying the all-time league record for points scored: 47, in OT, in DC.

Too bad her team lost. The Stix worked together; Nikki T had ten assists.

LJ: ""If we had won, I probably would go out until 6 o'clock in the morning to celebrate it, definitely. But I'm going home. I think losing takes away everything."

Mystics coach Rollins: "No one told us we would have to play Dirk Nowitzki tonight."

2. San Antonio stayed ahead of the west by beating the Catchings-less Fever in Indy; the home team have now lost three straight.

"We're going through a little transition," coach Winters admits. "But hey, we're all professionals." The Fever's rebounding looked pretty amateurish, though: the Stars won the boards by thirteen.
