1. San Antonio ruined Connecticut's weekend with a convincing win at the casino. Becky and Sophia Young combined for 46.

The big road win puts the SASS into a tie for first in the West; it puts Connecticut fans into a bad mood. "They were just better than us today," said coach Thibault, whose team at one point missed fifteen shots in a row.

I'm still not sure how to read the Silver Stars' expanding set of fanblogs, but they've sure got some great pictures from yesterday.

2. Sacramento are still vying for that fourth Western playoff spot; last night they got closer by beating the Lynx at Arco. The box score makes me wonder about the Lynx starting lineup: DeForge got a donut, and Charde Houston came off the bench for a team-high 19.

3. The Monarchs have the upper hand, but Phoenix can still make the playoffs: the Merc canned the Comets last night in the Merc's home finale. "They played with their hearts," said coach Gaines. Diana played with fantastic accuracy, too: 33 points, 17 of 18 from the stripe.

If you watched the game on NBATV (or on Arizona's local broadcast) you heard a lot about Phoenix's rover defense, in which Diana covers the biggest threat and everybody else plays zone. Q has more thoughts here on defensive prowess, and says that Lisa Leslie right now looks like the Defensive POY.
