Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, July 18, 2007

Katie Douglas, Nykesha Sales and Lindsay Whalen made big plays down the stretch to help the Sun hold off the Lynx 84-79 for their fourth win in a row.

Douglas finished with 22 points and Whalen added 20 as the Sun had an answer for every Lynx run. Whalen said this started on their West Coast trip. "It was just people finding their roles — when to be aggressive, when not to be aggressive. We've sort of fed off of each other.” After coming up short earlier in the season in close games, the Sun are finding a way to make the plays necessary to win.

The Lynx won the battle of the boards and saw Svet connect 5-6 from three point range. Seimone once again led the way with 24 points. Her team will look to end their second seven game losing streak of the season on Friday against the Mystics.
