A busy night in the WNBA last night.

1.) J-Mac was back as the Liberty rallied from a fourth quarter deficit to keep the Dream winless. Betty Lennox had a game high 28 for Atlanta.

"We didn't close it out," Dream coach Marynell Meadors said. "All that goes back to a confidence level that we don't have right now. I think once we win a game or two, things are going to change for this team."

2.) The Mystics had four players in double figures, including Crystal Langhorne's best game as a pro. But it was not enough to hold off Nicole Powell, Kara Lawson and the Monarchs.

"We don't have that sense of urgency; for some reason we get it in the second half," said Alana Beard. "One thing that killed us were turnovers. We just can't hold on to the ball. We go periods where we have five, six turnovers in a row and it kills us."

3.) In what may have been the ugliest game of the night, the Silver Stars welcomed back Sophia Young and remained undefeated at home. Young had a game high 17 and San Antonio allowed Indiana to shoot under 32% from the floor.

“We didn’t really have time to practice with Sophia before tonight’s game, and that just goes to show what a great competitor she is,” Dan Hughes said. “Sophia has the ability to attack the defense and really break it down.”

In good news for the Fever (and USAB), Tamika Catchings is expected to make her season debut on Sunday.

4.) Diana Taurasi had an impressive 37 points on her birthday, but it was not enough to get past the Storm. As usual, the Mercury could not stop Lauren Jackson. And good news for Storm fans, Swoopes feels great and it showed.

The Storm had a big advantage in rebounding and at the line. "Thirty-two ... hmmm, well, can't win that game," Mercury coach Corey Gaines said. Added Taurasi: "We have some of the best offensive players in the league and we can't get a call? That's ridiculous."

5.) In the match up of the pre-season favorites from the two respective conferences, it was the Sparks who came out on top of the Shock.

Lisa Leslie led a balanced attack for the Sparks and her team was perfect from the line. "We've been practicing our free throws and we do that because there will be games where we're not going to get any," Michael Cooper said. "It's important to hit the ones you get."
