Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, June 24, 2006

The Sparks were not at home, but that did not stop them from extending their winning streak to seven with a 77-63 victory over the Monarchs.

That fact that L.A. won so easily with Lisa Leslie scoring only eight points in 18 minutes was impressive. "I can't carry this team every night," Leslie said. She did not have to with Mwadi Mabika scoring 24, Chamique Holdsclaw 12, and Doneeka Hodges-Lewis 10.

Kara Lawson and Ticha Penichiero were 0-10 from the floor scoreless and the Monarchs only shot 36% from the floor. "I don't have anything to say," John Whisenant said, "except that we got whipped in all areas."
