Recent games:

1) With the Lib on the road, fans are finding they love Sacramento, Seattle not so much.

2) In what many are probably anticipating will be a preview of the WNBA Finals (there, have I put the kibosh on both teams?), Jessica Moore had the kind of night that make GMs feel brilliant (6/8, 7-8 FTs and 8 rebounds) and the Fever defeated the Mercury (in AZ), 90-83.

Katie Douglas didn't have too bad a game, neither: a career-high six 3-pointers, 28 points, 10 rebounds and five assists

Said Taurasi, post-game:

"They came out in a blaze of glory. They played a good game, we didn't. They capitalized on things that they saw. They were putting it up and they were going in, getting to the free-throw line. They did what they do.''

3) Glad to see the .com took the opening when the opportunity for the best headline arose (pun intended): Sky Stick a Thorn into Dream.

Erin Thorn had a season-high 20 points, and Chicago recovered after losing a 16-point lead to beat Atlanta 82-80 on Saturday night, ending the Dream's franchise-record winning streak at four games.
