Phoenix had Diana Taurasi and LA didn't.

Phoenix had Diana Taurasi and LA didn't.

But LA had League MVP Candace Parker...what happened? Guess she rested on her laurels last night...UConn beats the LV's yet again!!

LOL. But wait, she wasn't even in the top 5 in the MVP balloting.

Diana was #1 but technically she wasn't.

Diana was about as cold last night as Toliver was the first game. This is a good series. The third game should be great watching. Interesting how each team has won on the road and lost at home.

I didn't get to see the game but based on the box score I can see that Bonner and DT going a combined 0-11 from three point range had to be a major factor in the loss. LA went 0-14 in game 1 and lost and Phoenix went 1-14 in game 2 and lost. Live by the 3 and die by the 3.

Scary thing, ETT, is that the LA-PHX game was a thing of beauty, shooting-wise, compared to the DC-ATL game. Those two teams, combined, shot 39 for 127, a rousing 30.7%. When a team (ATL) has three players with double-digit rebounds, you know that the opponent can't hit anything. Ugly!

I'm glad I missed that one. For some reason, that series holds no interest for me.

I am hoping that Phoenix can pull off another win in LA. I hope that Phoenix goes back to high percentage shots and doesn't jack up the first long range shot that is offered up. They look much better when they get into the pain.

Great game tonight!

 

[rocky rococo]

Instant classic.

What they do in the privacy of their homes is their business,

Griner made the winning shot over Parker! I thought was a nice touch!

Terrific game. 2 talented teams battling to the end. Of course the right team won - DT and Charde move on to fight another day. Atlanta vs. Indiana will be interesting on the other side. Chicago needs to head back to the drawing board and work out some issues.

I will admit I felt no small amount of satisfaction seeing the league MVP unable to get her uber-talented team past the first round.
