UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) SEATTLE (AP) - Sue Bird hit a season-high five 3-pointers and scored 15 points to lead the Seattle Storm to a surprising 79-72 victory over the WNBA-leading Los Angeles Sparks on Friday night.

Coming off her record seventh gold medal in international competition at the Olympics, Bird was 5 of 7 from behind the arc for the Storm (10-15). She also had six assists.

Bird has four Olympic and three world championship gold medals.

Olympic teammate Breanna Stewart made just 2 of 13 and scored five points, though she did have 11 rebounds. Crystal Langhorn had 16 points and 10 rebounds for Seattle, and Jewell Loyd added 15 points.

Nneka Ogwumike had 28 points for Los Angeles (21-4), 15 in the fourth quarter.

SUN 84, LYNX 80

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) - Alyssa Thomas scored 15 points to lead Connecticut past Minnesota.

Jasmine Thomas scored the tiebreaking basket with 15.2 seconds to play and finished with 12 points, and Alex Bentley and reserve Courtney Williams also had 12 points for the Sun (9-16) in their third straight victory. Chiney Ogwumike had 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Lindsay Whalen and Syliva Fowles had 16 apiece for defending champion Minnesota (21-5), but former UConn star Maya Moore, was held to eight on 3-for-12 shooting.

MERCURY 98, WINGS 72

PHOENIX (AP) - Penny Taylor scored 22 points and the Phoenix Mercury returned from the five-week Olympic break to rout the Dallas Wings 98-72 on Friday night.

Taylor, who played for Australia in Rio, was 8 of 9 from the field. Candice Dupree was 8 of 10 and scored 16 points for Phoenix (11-14). Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner, U.S. gold medal winners, had 13 apiece. Griner also eight rebounds and six blocked shots. DeWanna Bonner had 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Plenette Pierson had 18 of her 23 points in the first half for Dallas (9-17).

LIBERTY 84, STARS 77

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Sugar Rodgers scored eight of her 18 points in the third quarter and New York topped San Antonio.

Tina Charles, a member of the champion U.S. team in the Rio Olympics, had 13 points and 10 rebounds for her league-leading 15th double-double for New York (19-8). Epiphanny Prince played her first game this season after tearing an ACL in November playing in Russia. She had five points in seven minutes.

Appel-Marinelli had a career-high 17 points for San Antonio (5-19). The Stars have lost six straight.

SKY 90, ATLANTA DREAM 82

ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) - Elena Delle Donne scored 34 points in the first game after helping the United States win an Olympic gold medal, leading Chicago past Atlanta.

The Sky (12-13) used a 15-0 run in two minutes in the third quarter to take the lead and then pulled away after the Dream (13-13) cut a 13-point deficit to one with four minutes to play.

Cappie Pondexter had 17 points, and Cheyenne Parker 14 for Chicago.

Angel McCoughtry led Atlanta with 22 points.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats (4-4 SU, 4-4 ATS) vs. Calgary Roughriders (6-1-1 SU, 6-2 ATS)
Point-spread: Calgary -5 ½
Total: 53 ½

Game Overview

The Tiger-Cats clawed their way back to .500 on the year behind quarterback Zach Collaros, who missed the first six games of the season recovering from a knee injury. He made the most of his home debut this season with 381 yards passing and five touchdown throws in the romp over Saskatchewan. He completed passes to eight different players, but his favorite receiver was Terrence Toliver with five catches for 139 yards and a score.

Calgary proved it is the team to beat in the CFL closing in the first half of the season. It is the highest scoring team in the CFL with an average of 31 points a game and defensively it is allowing an average of 20.1 points, which is also the best in the league. Bo Levi Mitchell continues to light things up at quarterback with the second-most passing yards (2,534) in the CFL and a tie for the most passing touchdowns (14).

Betting Trends

-- Calgary has won the last nine meetings SU, but the Tiger-Cats have the slight 5-4 edge ATS.

-- The total has stayed UNDER in the last seven games of this interdivision clash.

Mystics dominate 2nd half, beat Fever 92-69
August 27, 2016

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Tayler Hill scored 18 points, Kahleah Copper and Emma Meesseman had 17 each, and the Washington Mystics beat the Indiana Fever 92-69 on Saturday night to snap a seven-game losing streak.

The Mystics (10-15) lost all seven of their games in July, and the Fever (12-13) won five of their last six. It was the first game back for both teams since the Olympic break.

The Mystics took the lead for good with a 9-0 run to open the second half, capped by Stefanie Dolson's jumper that made it 45-39.

Indiana cut it 48-45, but would get no closer as Washington answered with a 9-2 run and stretched to its margin to 26 in the final minute.

Stefanie Dolson and Tierra Ruffin-Pratt added 11 points each for Mystics. They outscored Indiana 56-30 in the second half.

Erlana Larkins, Natalie Achonwa and Tamika Catchings led the Fever with 12 points each. Marissa Coleman added 11, and Shenise Johnson had 10.

Armadillo:Sunday's six-pack

— Gerrit Cole, Jason deGrom will both miss their Monday start; Cole is going to see a doctor, deGrom is simply getting a start skipped.

— Rams gave WR Tavon Austin a 4-year contract extension with $25.55M of guaranteed money.

— With two outs and runners in scoring position, Curtis Granderson is an amazingly bad 2-for-41 this season.

— Former NFL coach Mike Nolan does a good job in the NFL Network studio; ex-coaches are generally better analysts than ex-players.

— There are 60 ballplayers who have played for both Padres/Marlins; seems like a high number, since Marlins are only 24 years old.

— Ravens lost TE Benjamin Watson (Achilles) on the first play of the game. Coaches would rather emerge healthy than win preseason games.

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Summing up a summer Saturday…….

13) Cowboys’ QB Tony Romo has a broken vertebrae in his back, is out 6-10 weeks; if I were his friend/advisor, I’d suggest he retire before something terrible happened to him. Romo is 36, has made a ton of cash in his career. Would be nice if he was healthy enough to spend it.

12) All of which leaves Mississippi State rookie Dak Prescott as Cowboys’ #1 QB, with no competent backup; Dallas has to sign a veteran backup now, since Kellen Moore is hurt and out for several more weeks.

This also makes the Week 1 Giant-Cowboy game an Egg Bowl matchup, since Eli went to Ole Miss and Prescott to Miss State.

11) USC plays Alabama in Texas next Saturday; Trojans still have 19 players who were at USC in 2013, when Bama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin was the Trojans’ head coach.

10) Green Bay may have found itself a hidden gem in backup QB Joe Callahan, who played D-III college ball at Wesley College in Delaware.

9) New England opens at Arizona, then Jimmy Garoppolo’s last three starts as Patriots’ QB are all home games, vs Miami, Houston, Buffalo. Tom Brady’s first game is October 9 in Cleveland.

8) Cam Newton played a lot last night in Carolina’s loss to the Patriots, almost three quarters. Panthers put up only three points while Newton was in the game; 3rd-stringer Joe Webb led a late rally that fell just short.

7) Duke lost its QB Thomas Sirk for the season to another achilles injury; tough break for the young man and for the Blue Devils.

6) Hall of Fame linebacker Kevin Greene’s son is a walk-on at Southern Miss. Greene was a walk-on himself, at Auburn.

5) Sometimes if you want to get more honest opinions about players, listen to the other team’s announcers; they talk to the home team’s TV/radio guys and they might pass on some criticism of players that the home team’s guys wouldn’t dare say on the air.

4) Announcers at the Cal-Hawai’i game Friday weren’t in Australia where the game was played; they broadcast the game from an ESPN studio. Saves lot of money and may be a wave of the future.

3) If you care about such things, NHL teams scored a goal on 18.7% of power plays last season.

2) Last year, golfer Scott Brown aced the par-3 3rd hole at the Wyndham tournament during Sunday’s final round.

Last week, Scott Brown again aced the par-3 3rd hole at the Wyndham tournament during Sunday’s final round.

Apparently it is only the second time that has happened on Tour, same guy acing the same hole in the same event two years in a row.

1– Bears-Texans play in Week 1 of regular season. Both teams already lost their starting center for the year. Chicago was awful on offense the last two weeks; even in preseason, this is a red flag. One of Houston’s starting tackles also figures to miss the Week 1 game.
