Mo Currie made the biggest shot of her pro career to lift her Mystics over the Sun with a tenth of a second to go: her turnaround three on a broken play off Beard's wild pass disappointed the casino crowd but kept her team's playoff chances alive for a few more hours.

The game had no playoff consequences for Connecticut, but it sure didn't feel that way. The Stix got physical, Scott Hawk got a technical, Sales got a bloody lip, Katie Douglas got hit in the head (but later returned to the floor), and Lindsay Whalen got to show the ABC-TV crowd her talent for astonishing, something-from-nothing drives to the basket.

That trio combined for 57 points: no other Connecticut player scored much, though-- Asjha sat again (she'll be back for the playoffs), and the Sun came out after halftime limp and confused, giving up an eleven-point lead.

Coach Thibault got upset again about the referees, but Whalen got it right: "you can't come out in the second half like we did and expect to win," she said. "You can't do that."
