WNBA Champs!

The Seattle Storm claimed the league title last night with a win in Game 3 over the Atlanta Dream. It was a championship sweep with Atlanta failing to get even one win in the series. To Atlanta's credit, there was a total margin of 8 points between the teams in all three games combined!!!

Little love for the WNBA

The WNBA finals started yesterday with the Seattle Storm taking on the Atlanta Dream. I have to admit that I only caught highlights of the game this morning as it did take a backseat to NFL Week 1, but I wish that I had seen it as it came down to a last minute shot.

Veteran star Sue Bird hit another clutch shot in this game to put the Storm up two with 2.6 seconds left on the clock. (Bird hit another buzzer beater in the conference championships to get the Storm into the WNBA finals.) The Dream had a last second shot for a chance to win or tie but the shot bounced off the rim. MVP of the game was Lauren Jackson who is a versatile "giant" out on the court, making herself a very difficult match-up for the Dream. She scored 26 points and had eight rebounds by not only using her height advantage, but also by continuously moving to get open or make room for her teammates.

Tune in Tuesday night on ESPN2 at 8pm to check out Game 2. It will be a night off from football, and the US Open will be over, so there are no excuses. It's looking to be a great series so do not miss it!
