With the obvious exception of the injured Cheryl Ford, the Shock had everyone back and it was too much for the Fever.

Plenette Pierson played her first game since being suspended and scored a team high 20 points. Deanna Nolan added 19 and Detroit received big contributions from their bench. "Our bench players came in and contributed,” Laimbeer said. “Hornbuckle had a good second quarter, [Olayinka] Sanni played well, and obviously Plenette played well. [Kelly] Schumacher’s given us some good quality minutes also. Everybody’s contributing, that’s fun."

Note - The Detroit papers had AP stories up at the time of this post. Hats off to Ryan Pretzer with the Shock for having a story to link to.
