Kia Vaughn with some big buckets. Nice to see Coffey hit a 3. Good adjustment to not force it with our big 2.

The Sun are way more aggressive on defense and are challenging us beyond the 3 pt line. We in turn are getting flustered, are rushing shots and are sloppy with passes. Hopefullyhalftime can be used to come up with another game plan. If their bigs are coming up on our guards during a pick, our bigs need to slash to basket or pivot away for a jumper.

Mini run to end the 3rd but still down 9. Shots just aren’t falling for us today

DT is on my Mount Rushmore of players! Wilt, Magic, DT, Nash. May add Booker over Nash later! :)

'Glad to watch Tom Leander and Annie announce the game.

Mercury starts with a 10-2 lead. Annie said, right from the
start of the game, that we look different than the last
game vs. the Sun.

Although it's hard for me to root against my former fav,
DeWanna Bonner.

Mercury takes the first quarter 30-13.

Tom and Annie discussed that the goal
was to get off to a big lead (led by DT)
and have her be strong for the 4th
quarter. It's working so far for Sandy.
