Detroit simply embarrassed the Mystics last night in a 99-62 blowout which was the straw that fired Coach Tree Rollins. Teams tend to play with extra heart after a blowout loss like that, and they also seem to get a boost from a coaching change. Former Storm assistant Jessie Kenlaw takes the helm in DC for the time being. The team will need to come in focused tomorrow.
The Fever game did not move like I expected, but in the end was what I predicted. It was a defensive slug-out and the team with the most offense won. Pilight is feeling that Tully is a big part of the Fever's problem, so we will see how they do in her four game absence. Bond played well last night.

| Sheryl Swoopes | 52% | 41% | 55% | 15 |
| Yolanda Griffith | 46% | 33% | 62% | 8 |
Normally a true shooting percentage below 50% doesn't make this list, but the solid 62% Floor percentage shows how important Yo was beyond her rebounding last night. Kelly Santos continues to have an impact whenever she plays.
