Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

More Camp Days:

1. Sheri Sam went off on her former team, and Charlotte won their fourth in a row. Muggy's finally happy: "Everybody is contributing, and it's a beautiful thing."

Sam's 23 points make a new career high. McCarville scored-- twice!-- on a less-than-full-strength LJ; she also got a standing O from the Sting crowd.

Jayda Evans has more reaction to the Seattle teams' sale. One of the new OK owners, G. E. Evans, remembers--- and admires-- Sue Bird from the NCAA championship game where her UConn beat his OU.

In yet more bad news for the Storm, Janell Burse banged up her shoulder; she'll be examined today.

2. Sacramento went up on the Lib 38 to 19, then had trouble scoring the rest of the way. New York cut the deficit to three in the closing minutes, but the defending champs came away with the win.

Outside shooter Erin Thorn had a great day: 20 points, 4-6 from long range, and another career high. Kelly Schumacher left with a bruised knee after colliding with Ticha early on. Coach Coyle: "We may not play the prettiest basketball, but we will never quit." (Though you might get fired.)
