In yesterday's preseason action...

Indiana finished a 3-0 preseason by beating Phoenix. DeForge had 34, but no one else could score for the Merc.

"I don't think I had to carry the team," said DeForge. "When you have a hot hand, you just keep going to it. The well runs dry. But I think anybody on any given night is capable of getting on this team."

4,554 fans showed up to the Pepsi Arena in Albany to see the Lib play Detroit. Shameka Christon led all scorers with 19, and the Shock shot less than 50% from the line, but Laimbeer's squad came out on top anyway.
