Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, June 28, 2008

What is this, National Overtime Week? In Connecticut, the Sun required an extra frame to get past the Dream, who remain winless after fourteen tries. Atlanta's 0-14 start is now the worst ever for a WNBA team.

How did they almost win it? B-Money scored 44 on 17-32 shooting, a new career high. Only three players (thanks, Paul!) have scored more points in one game.

The Dream overcame a double-digit third-quarter hole; Jones and Whitmore completed a reverse old-fashioned three-point play (made free throw, missed free throw, Asjha's putback) to put the Sun at last ahead for good.

"We kept everybody entertained," said coach Thibault afterwards. "It kind of became a test of wills... That's a good a performance as I've seen. [Lennox] reminded me of Allen Iverson." It's a comparison that's been made before.
