Game Fifteen: Storm @ Sparks 24 June, 2008

0:57 [LAS 74-58] Parker Driving Slam Dunk Shot: Made (22 PTS)



Ouch. That is the first time I have read that in a Storm play by play. Two dunks in three days. The game is changing.

The Sparks used a LOT of size against the Storm and it hurt them in the second half.

Yolanda Griffith had strong shooting percentages (75% ts, 100% eFG) but her floor percentage was a miserable 19%. It is nice to see Sue and Katie on this list.

The bench looked pretty good in their expanded minutes, but man, Ely and Robinson have not been bringing it to the floor of late.

Lisa Leslie had a horrible night, but the three new starters made the difference.
