Thinking more about this game and looking over the box scores and what not, there's really not anything else I have to say that wasn't covered in the game thread . It was one of those games. The Mercury are the more talented team and were expected to win and they did. It was impressive how balanced the attack was on a night when the shots weren't falling easily and it was a game where the defense really...

A little touch of insomnia let's us catch up on last night's games: 1) January's running three-pointer at the half ( .com's Play of the Day ) may have fired up the Fever, but it was Sutton-Brown's 22pts that carried Indiana to a 8th straight victory. This time, the victim was Atlanta, 2) Detroit fans got treated to a heck of a game, but that may be small comfort. Katie Smith said, "I'm not dead...
