There was only one game played last night. Never worry though, there are games planned for tomorrow night.
Indiana Fever 74 - Chicago Sky 67- Both teams ended their streaks last night. The Fever's win ended a two-game losing streak and the Sky's loss ended a two-game winning streak. The Fever now move to .500 on the season and are four games back in the Eastern Conference. Tamika Catchings came off the bench for the Fever, scoring 18 points. Candice Dupree of the Sky led all scorers with 20 points.
I'll have a Wimbledon update before the end of the day.

WNBA Recap: The Mercury keep rising

You're probably wondering when I'll be stopping all of these Mercury-related jokes. I don't have too many, so work with me.
Phoenix Mercury 97 - Atlanta Dream 79- I bet the Dream wished those numbers could be switched around. A 33-9 second quarter score made the ultimate difference in the game. Diana Taurasi scored 28 points for the Mercury. Taurasi had a big night from three-point-land, making 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. The Dream meanwhile, remain winless. They'll win! Fear not Atlanta!
Chicago Sky 73 - Minnesota Lynx 71- The Sky held off the Lynx to win their second straight game. Candice Dupree had a big night for the Sky, scoring 26 points. Candice Wiggins led the Lynx by scoring 17 points off the bench.
New York Liberty 89 - Los Angeles Sparks 78- Shameka Christon scored 28 points for the Liberty, as they moved back to .500 for the season and continue to hold down third place in the Eastern Conference. Candace Parker led the Sparks in scoring with 18 points in the loss. She also added 10 rebounds. The Sparks hold a one game lead over the San Antonio Silver Stars.
Have a great Wednesday

WNBA Recap: Dream remain winless

Detroit Shock 100 - Atlanta Dream 92- The Dream are now 0-15. It's not a good start for this young franchise. Hopefully they can use this season as a learning experience and move from there. Atlanta is a good sports town. If the Dream can win one game this season, they'll be okay. Kara Braxton of the Shock scored 26 points off the bench.
Phoenix Mercury 87 - Connecticut Sun 80- The Mercury is rising in Phoenix (All pun intended). They've won five of six, including three straight games and are now at .500 for the season. Mercury forward Diana Taurasi led all scorers with 25 points, including making 5-of-11 from beyond the arc. The Mercury now have a chance to keep the win streak alive and tighten the race in the Western Conference, when they take on the Dream on Tuesday night.
Seattle Storm 64 - Washington Mystics 49- This was a night where there would be no offense and all defense. Both teams shot poorly. The Mystics made only 19 field goals in the game, while the Storm made 23 field goals. Alana Beard of the Mystics led all scorers with 16 points.
