Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, May 27, 2004

An ugly game in San Antonio, as the Silver Stars defeated the Minnesota Lynx, 56-44. For most of the game, the Lynx had more turnovers than baskets, and the team only scored 17 points in the first half. And the Lynx shot 0-15 from three. Ouch...thank goodness that game wasn't nationally televised!

The bright side was that Margo Dydek finally showed up for San Antonio. Large Marge had 15 points, 9 blocks, and 6 rebounds, while forcing Lynx rookie Nicole Ohlde into 6-18 shooting from the floor. Ferdinand led the Silver Stars with 17 points.

The Lynx finished the season-opening road trip with a record of 1-2. Hopefully, all of the attention the Whalen issue has had in Minnesota will force people to come out for the Lynx' home opener.
