Paige nails a 3!!

Pretty depressing...

Paige finally gets offense going, but still has just 9. I think this would be her first single-figure game this season.

Nope, no shot... 90-81.

Many of us thought this season in Dallas would be bad, but did anyone think it would be this bad? Paige follows up a 44 point performance with an 11 point game, then a 9 point game. But worse, they lose to an expansion team that is now 19-18, fighting for a playoff spot. Meanwhile, Dallas is 9-29, eliminated from the playoffs.

Terrible coach, the most player turnover in the history of basketball, very dumb owner, a bunch of players, not a team ...um, let's see, I guess that's enough.

The announcers stated that Paiges passes were to slow to her teamates after she was double teamed and the defense was able to recover and cover there man. Also teammates do not have a high BB IQ which is why the team plays so poorly on defense and offense.

Actually, it seemed like Paige would get single coverage for a second or two, which would quickly morph into a double and triple team (2 in front of her and 1 behind her first when she try to retreat and regroup).
Obviously, she had a bad shooting game, but under the circumstances (between coverage on her and being surrounded by inept shooters and teammates not playing intelligently or with any sense of anything besides themselves), the 9 assists with only 1 turnover is pretty remarkable.
Contrast that with Burton (who played brilliantly), but was surrounded by gifted shooters on a team that played as a team and only had to contend with Dallas' "defense."
