Houston Comets 79 - Detroit Shock 61- How many 50-year-olds do you know that play pro basketball? You can count one if you know Nancy Lieberman. The basketball hall of famer signed a week long contract to fill the void for the Shock as they head into the Olympic break. In nine minutes of action, Lieberman scored zero points, but had two assists. Deanna Nolan scored 23 points for the Shock in the loss.
In other news, the WNBA handed down suspensions for the scuffle in Detroit the other night. Plenette Pierson received the stiffest punishment when she was suspended for four games. Assistant coach Rich Mahorn was suspended two games, as was Shannon Bobbitt and Murriel Page from the Sparks. Lisa Leslie and Candace Parker each received one game.
Connecticut Sun 87 - Los Angeles Sparks 61- Without Candace Parker, Lisa Leslie and DeLisha Milton Jones, the Sparks weren't able to score against the Sun. Lindsay Whalen of the Sun led all scorers with 22 points. With the Shock's loss and the Sun's win, the Shock's lead in the East is now down to a half game. A win in D.C. could give the Sun the lead in the Eastern Conference, if the Shock lose to San Antonio. Add in a win against Indiana and the Sun will be in good shape going into the Olympic break.
San Antonio Silver Stars 78 - Chicago Sky 67- Sophia Young's 19 points were enough to give the Silver Stars their 17th win of the season. Candice Dupree of the Sky scored 20 points.
Minnesota Lynx 84 - Indiana Fever 80- Seimone Augustus' 25 points were enough to give the Lynx the victory. Ebony Hoffman and Tamika Catchings each scored 17 points for the Fever.
