Not much I can add to Helen and Q re: Sunday's games in the Phone Booth and at the Palace: go read Q! go read Q! and if you're a Mystics person, go read the Basket Cases' coverage too!

There was, however, a third game that New England fans might have noticed: up by just one with a couple of minutes to go, the Sun closed the game on a tear and ended their losing streak, defeating the Sky at Mohegan.

Whalen and Jones combined for 43, but starter Swanier scored a donut; Holt, who shot badly till the last few minutes, kept her composure and lifted her team with late shots. Coach Thibault seemed OK with the team's play: "I don't need four or five great plays," he said afterwards. "I need about twenty good ones."
