Once again the National Anthem sounded much like a Christmas carol.

Not Katie Douglas, but her roster doppelganger Christina Wirth.

This is weird. The last time I saw these two coaches, Lin Dunn was coaching the Power and Agler was coaching the Quest.

Due to Katie's knee, she and Doppler just sort of rub shoulders now.

Ouch, did someone accidentally touch LJ's back?
|
22.jpg
|
23.jpg
|
24.jpg
Wirth didn't play but she was in charge of hugs and smiles around the bench.
|
25.jpg
LJ wins the tip...
|
26.jpg
...but the clock was messed up, so we wait.
|
27.jpg
OK, let's play ball.
|
28.jpg
You think this is going to be a held ball?
|
29.jpg
Yoink!
|

|
31.jpg
Camille dives after the loose ball.
|
32.jpg
Note that she turns her back to the Fever.
|
33.jpg
Of course she can't move...
|
34.jpg
...but manages to flip the ball to Tanisha.
|
35.jpg
Tanisha immediately heads for the basket...
|
36.jpg
...but doesn't expect Tammy Sutton-Brown there.

Hey, why does Katie wear those pads on her elbows? Is it so they won't leave any bruises?

Look at Catchings' long arms.
|
65.jpg
Yes, we know Janell didn 't get close to touching that ball.
|

Tanisha seems to draw a crowd.

LJ's three point shot misses...
|
73.jpg
...Suzy tries to get the rebound...
|
74.jpg
...but she doesn't quite get it...
|
75.jpg
...but she does tip it to Tanisha.
|
76.jpg
|
77.jpg
The Fever continues their pressing defense.
|
78.jpg
|
79.jpg
|
80.jpg
Baseball pass...
|
81.jpg
...yes, the Storm is getting better at transition offense.
|
82.jpg
|
83.jpg
|
84.jpg
LJ miss.
|

The Storm are wearing the Fever down by passing around the double teams.

I didn't see a foul here.
|

Shelley disagrees.
|

But Sue agrees.

Bad pass from Katie.
|

|
126.jpg
|
127.jpg
|
128.jpg
|
129.jpg
Kind of a foul.
|
130.jpg
I think the pressing defense has completely worn out the Fever.
|
131.jpg
|
132.jpg
|
133.jpg
|
134.jpg
|
135.jpg
|
136.jpg
Sue got popped but nothing was broken.
|
137.jpg
Katie thumps into Tanisha...
|
138.jpg
...and loses the ball.
|
139.jpg
Might as well flop. Nothing to lose.
|
140.jpg
|
141.jpg
Tully sees Katie on the other side of the court and throws a skip pass...
|
142.jpg
...into the third row. I think she's tired.
|
143.jpg
|
144.jpg
That's one way to obscure Tully's vision.
|
145.jpg
|
146.jpg
Uh, just make yourself at home Katie.
|

The Fever's offense was set up for a baseball pass if the Storm misses free throws but it never happened.
