7th Win: Comets Snag One in New York
Madison Square Garden... how sweet it is to snag our second road win of the season against the Liberty, 80-74.
The Comets were ahead much of the game (5 lead changes, 6 ties) but it felt mostly neck-and-neck. Our largest lead was 10 points, but we scored only 3 unanswered points. We outrebounded them 33 to 28, and had one more turnover than the Liberty, 17 to their 16.
Tina Thompson 26
Tamecka Dixon 20 (hello!)
Hamchetou Maiga-Ba 10
Sancho Lyttle 6
Michelle Snow 5
Erin Grant 4
Crystal Smith 3
Barbara Turner 2
Mistie Williams 2 (!)
Ashley Shields 2
Roneeka Hodges 0
Cathrine Kraayeveld led for the Liberty, with 31 points!
SIDE NOTE: I can't help but notice that Sheryl Swoopes didn't even appear on the roster, injured, DNP or otherwise. Maybe that's because it was a road game. Or maybe not.

Second Half Lead Blown, Mystics Outwit Comets
Up by 14 points at halftime, their lead was still strong, at 57-48 when Tina Thompson scored with 5:59 left. And then it all fell apart.
The Mystics outscored us 17-1, including 11 unanswered points, in the closing minutes. Tina Thompson (14) and Crystal Smith (12) were the only Comets in double figures. Turnovers were even at 16. and the Mystics outrebounded us 43 to 39.
And the Comets lost their 8th (out of 9) game on the road, 58-65.
With that, we maintain our position in the WNBA underground, and head to New York to meet the (4th in the Eastern Conference with 10-10) Liberty.
PERSONAL NOTE: This was a day game in D.C., and I stayed in at lunch to listen to the fourth quarter. In hindsight, I should have left for a pleasurable lunch!
