Swin and Tiff in double figures

[MilfordHusky]

Atlanta leads Chicago by 9 late in the 3rd.

Swin has tallied 19 already; Tiff has 12 and counting. Go Huskies!

Swin with 19 and tiff with 18. Tiff Hayes - WNBA ROY!

Tiff ended up with 18 but was incredibly efficient (6-8, 5-8 FT's). Sancho Lyttle scored 24 but was 9-20.

I'd like to see Tiff shoot FTs at her usual 80% clip, but her FG shooting tonight was stellar.

She did a nice job filling in for Angel.

Tiffany started and played 35 minutes in the place of Angel. She definitely took advantage of her opportunity!

Great job, Tiff !!!!!!!!!

I see E-Piph was 0-1 for 0 pts in 17 mins of play .....clearly not anywhere near 100% after coming back from the injury. She was on an absolute tear before going down. Will probably take some time before she is back close to that level.

Sometimes it is really difficult to understand the player +/- stat. Chicago's Young, who goes 1 for 6 is the ONLY player who merits a +???
Whereas Swin & Sylvia get a -?

The +/- stat essentially just tells you what the scoring differential is while a player is in the game. For instance, let's say Tiffany comes in off the bench. Play resumes, then her teammate Erika scores a layup. Tiff is now at +2. Then the other team misses, and Tiff scores with a 12-ft jumper. Now Tiff is at +4. Then someone on the other team shoots a 3 and score. Tiff is now at +1.

There may be smaller exceptions that do or don't change the +/-, but that's basically what it is. It's got flaws aplenty, but its basic purpose is to try and measure how much the overall team benefits while a player is on the floor.

Tiffany was just terrific in that game. This team is such a perfect fit for her. Can't wait for Saturday's game (ESPN2) against Minnesota with Lobo announcing.
