Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, July 18, 2003

The big Sue Bird homecoming was good for Sue, not the Sun. The Storm didn't play well, and Sue was shaky at times, with a bunch of turnovers in the second half. But she also had 15 points, 7 assists, 3 boards, and 3 steals, and the Storm won 67-65.

The game was decided in part by a key charging call against McWilliams-Franklin at the end. The Sun were not happy -- said Pee Wee: "It's about the players, not the ref. You don't make that call."

Despite the loss, this was probably the biggest game in the Sun's brief franchise history. It was a sellout crowd with a lot of fans who'd never been there before.
