Speaking of disasters: Mystics fans are all too used to bad news, but Connecticut fans don't expect to lose five in a row.

After single-handledly almost-winning some games her team couldn't quite take away, Lindsay turned in a clunker: 1-8, 2 points, and 2 assists. "They played better than us," coach Thibault said. "I'm not into moral victories right now."

Sky fans are into actual victories for a change, though the Chicago crowd had, as usual, a nail-biting fourth quarter. In even better news for the Windy City, and for the league, and for Team USA, Fowles should return to the court sometime before the Olympic break.

UPDATE: Q sees all, knows all, says point guard play made the difference.
