Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, August 11, 2003

In yesterday's games:

1. The Fever lost a tough one to Cleveland. Catchings had 21 and 10, but as usual, didn't get enough help. Chastity Melvin made the big shot at the end to seal the win.

Indiana has now lost 5 in a row and has fallen to fifth in the East.

2. Detroit beat New York in OT. Deanna Nolan hit 7 three-pointers, including the game-winning shot in the final seconds of overtime.

3. First-place Houston embarrassed last-place Phoenix. No Mercury player had more than 8, and they also got crushed on the boards. Houston is playing solid, consistent ball night in and night out.
