Preview: Sun (9-11) at Fever (9-10)

Date: July 10, 2014 12:00 PM EDT


After dropping four in a row, the Indiana Fever appear to be back on track.

Having nine-time All-Star Tamika Catchings back should help them continue to improve.

Indiana looks for a fourth win in five games Thursday when it hosts the struggling Connecticut Sun.

The Fever (9-10) allowed an average of 86.8 points during a four-game skid from June 22-29. They've since held opponents to 73.5 per game in winning three of four, including a 78-76 victory at Tulsa on Tuesday. Catchings scored nine of her 23 points in the fourth quarter and hit the go-ahead basket with 5.2 seconds left.

Catchings, who was playing her second game of the season after missing the first 17 due to a sore back, was named an All-Star on Tuesday. She's started every All-Star game since joining the WNBA in 2002.

"We're an emotional team and we have to do better late in the game," said Catchings, who also grabbed 11 rebounds in 31 minutes. "We've lost six or seven games this year when we've had double-digit leads and we can't do that. Tonight, with the game on the line, Coach (Dunn) was looking for someone to step up and want the ball at the end. I always want the ball in that situation and we executed just like it was drawn up."

The former league MVP looked much better than in her season debut in Indiana's 71-70 loss to San Antonio on Saturday, when she scored six points on 1-of-7 shooting while playing just 20 minutes. She was 8 for 14 Tuesday.

"I was glad to see her improve from her last game and she helped us make some big stops in crunch time," coach Lin Dunn said.

The Sun (9-11) are just 2-7 on the road and have lost five of six overall, most recently 83-71 at Atlanta on Tuesday.

Chiney Ogwumike and Alex Bentley each scored 19, but Connecticut shot just 39.2 percent from the field. Rookie forward Alyssa Thomas was 0 for 7 from the field and went scoreless for the first time. The No. 4 overall pick was just two games removed from scoring a season-high 24.

Connecticut is averaging 71.8 points during a 1-5 stretch after previously scoring 77.8 per game for the season.

"I made a personal goal to play harder in the second half and had the support of my teammates," Ogwumike said. "But I think (the Dream) controlled the tempo because they played like a team, they celebrated together, and that's one thing that we're trying to do consistently. They did it for 40 minutes. We did it for about 25 minutes."

Indiana defeated the Sun 79-65 on May 29 for its third straight home win in the series, but lost two games in Connecticut by a combined 39 points in a 10-day span last month.

Catchings averaged 16.0 points and 4.3 steals while playing in three of five matchups last season.

Preview: Lynx (14-6) at Shock (7-12)

Date: July 10, 2014 8:00 PM EDT


Maya Moore's late free throws were the difference in the Minnesota Lynx's narrow victory over the Tulsa Shock in May.

Now, her Western Conference All-Star teammate Skylar Diggins will try to help the scuffling Tulsa Shock avenge that defeat.

Minnesota travels to Tulsa on Thursday night in a matchup of the league's top two scorers.

Moore was announced Tuesday as the leading vote-getter for next Saturday's All-Star Game, earning her third selection.

She leads the league with a career-best 23.2 points per game and comes off a strong performance Tuesday for the Lynx (14-6), scoring 30 in an 83-72 home win over Los Angeles. She tallied 16 of her points in the final quarter, helping Minnesota erase a three-point deficit.

Moore could again carry more of the scoring burden with the possible absence of second-leading scorer Seimone Augustus (17.2 ppg). She missed her fourth straight game with left knee bursitis, and her status for Wednesday's contest is unknown.

Moore was 1 for 7 from 3-point range Tuesday but 7 of 7 from the free-throw line.

"Way too much Maya Moore in the fourth quarter," opposing coach Carol Ross said. "We didn't have an answer and that's when you've got to be at your best. Great players rise up in fourth quarters and big moments, and I thought she hit some very timely shots."

Moore scored a career-best 38 on 13-of-21 shooting, including 5 of 9 from 3-point range, pulled down 13 rebounds and converted the go-ahead free throws with 11.8 seconds left in a 94-93 victory at Tulsa on May 23. Diggins, who had 21 points and five assists, missed a 3-point shot on Tulsa's final possession.

Diggins, who is averaging 25.8 points over her last eight games and 21.3 per game overall, was selected Tuesday to her first All-Star game despite her team's struggles.

The Shock (7-12) own the West's worst record and are looking to end a four-game home skid. They lost for the fifth time in six games overall Tuesday, falling 78-76 to Indiana - their fourth defeat by three points or fewer in that stretch.

Diggins tallied 23 points and hit all 12 of her free throws but Tamika Catchings made a go-ahead layup with 5.2 seconds left.

"At the start of the fourth quarter, we were trying to be aggressive. It really was desperation time for us," Diggins said. "I was trying to attack and get to the free throw line. No matter how much we were behind, I just kept attacking."

Minnesota will be looking to improve on the glass after being outrebounded 20-1 on the offensive end. Tulsa is one of the league's better rebounding teams with a plus-1.8 margin per game.

Preview: Sparks (7-11) at Liberty (7-12)

Date: July 11, 2014 7:30 PM EDT


The last-place New York Liberty appeared to be headed in the right direction, but they saw their woes resume with an ugly loss their last time out.

The Liberty try to bounce back against Candace Parker and the Los Angeles Sparks, who go for a third consecutive win in the series Friday night at Madison Square Garden.

Sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, New York (7-12) had won a season-best three straight - all at home - before falling 80-66 at San Antonio on Wednesday. Sugar Rodgers scored a season-high 21 points off the bench and Cappie Pondexter added 17, but Tina Charles finished with six on 3-of-9 shooting.

The Liberty, outscored 51-31 in the first and third quarters, held a 41-34 rebounding edge but committed 16 turnovers to the Stars' 10.

"We've been playing very hard, playing good basketball and tonight we just didn't have it for whatever reason and they took it to us," said coach Bill Laimbeer, whose team trailed by as many as 23.

While the Liberty have dropped a WNBA-worst eight of nine on the road, they are 6-4 at home, where they've averaged 88.5 points in the last two games.

Another high-scoring display could prove key against Los Angeles (7-11), which took both of last year's meetings while averaging 91.0 points. Pondexter was terrific in those losses, posting a combined 56 points.

The Sparks are hoping to avoid a third consecutive loss after opening a four-game road swing with Tuesday's 83-72 defeat to Minnesota. Los Angeles was outscored 27-13 in the fourth quarter.

"We didn't have an answer and that's when you've got to be at your best," coach Carol Ross said.

Center Jantel Lavender had 17 points and Parker scored 16 while shooting 5 of 18. Los Angeles went 27 of 80 (33.8 percent) from the floor while the Lynx were 33 for 61 (54.1).

"We had 20 more shots than they did, so I'd like to think next time we'd shoot a little bit better and execute down the stretch," Parker said.

Parker, averaging team highs of 20.0 points and 4.8 assists, will start for the West opposite Pondexter in next weekend's All-Star game. Last year's All-Star MVP, Parker also made the team in 2011 but didn't play due to injury.

"It means a lot," she said. "Obviously it's only my second game and early on I was injured and pregnant and all that jazz, so it's nice to be there and not be at home looking at it on the couch."

Parker is averaging 16.3 points over a seven-game stretch on the road. She scores 21.8 per game at home.

Storm-Stars Preview


An improved defense has helped key the San Antonio Stars' recent turnaround.

They'll look to extend the struggles of the WNBA's worst offense Friday night when they host the Seattle Storm.

The Stars (11-9) have won four of five while limiting opponents to 72.6 points per game. They had allowed an average of 79.9 points during a 7-8 start.

San Antonio started Wednesday's 80-66 home win over New York with a 14-0 run as the Liberty missed their first 12 shots. New York was held to 38.3 percent shooting for the game and committed 15 turnovers.

Kayla McBride matched her career high with 30 points.

"The real story is defensively for us right now," coach Dan Hughes said. "What a difference it makes on this basketball team when we defend."

Jayne Appel blocked one shot but Hughes credited her with altering many other New York shots.

"Jayne Appel doesn't get a lot of credit in a lot of situations," Hughes said. "She does so many things that we appreciate, (like) her ability to kind of anchor our defense inside. For a player that scored only two points, she gets nine boards and she to me is one of the best defensive players in the league."

Danielle Robinson and Jia Perkins rank among the league's top 10 in steals with 2.1 and 1.9 per game, respectively.

The Storm (8-13) own the West's worst road record at 3-10 and they've dropped three straight away from home.

Seattle averages a league-low 70.2 points and struggled offensively in a 78-58 loss at Phoenix on Wednesday. The Storm went seven minutes without a basket during a 19-0 second-quarter run in which they were outscored 21-4.

Coach Brian Agler's frustration led a technical foul in the second quarter after he argued with an official. Seattle trailed by 17 at halftime after committing 12 turnovers.

The team's top two scorers -- Camille Little and Crystal Langhorne -- were held to a combined 15 points on 5-of-16 shooting.

"They started forcing us to get turnovers, we didn't execute and turned the ball over and when a team is that talented offensively, you can't let them get in transition," Langhorne said.

Little is 10 for 26 over her last three games.

The road team has won each of the previous two meetings, and McBride has totaled only 12 points on 4-for-15 shooting.

Preview: Mercury (14-3) at Sky (8-11)

Date: July 11, 2014 8:30 PM EDT


The Phoenix Mercury are enjoying the longest winning streak in franchise history thanks in large part to Brittney Griner, who was chosen to start in next weekend's All-Star game.

The slumping Chicago Sky are headed in the opposite direction with fellow All-Star Elena Delle Donne still out.

Looking to stay hot, visiting Phoenix tries to add to the Sky's woes Friday night.

The WNBA-leading Mercury (14-3) have won eight in a row after beating Seattle 78-58 on Wednesday. Phoenix forced 20 turnovers and held the Storm to 1-of-12 shooting from 3-point range.

"That's something that we put our hat on all season long, is to play good defense, and I thought that the activity and the pressure that we had there just took them out of the game," coach Sandy Brondello said.

The Mercury have outscored opponents by an average of 10.4 points during their run, including an 87-69 rout of Chicago (8-11) last Wednesday.

"We are rolling now," Griner said. "In the beginning, we were just trying to find our groove, find our identity. Definitely found it. Now we're just building on it every game."

Griner, averaging 15.6 points, a team-best 8.2 rebounds and league-high 4.0 blocks, will start for the Western Conference in next Saturday's All-Star game in Phoenix alongside teammate Diana Taurasi.

Delle Donne was the leading vote-getter in the East, but she's home in Delaware receiving treatment for Lyme disease.

"It is really sad that she's dealing with this right now," Griner said of Delle Donne, who's missed 10 of the last 11 games. "We all want her better."

The Sky have lost three in row, dropping to 3-7 without Delle Donne and her 21.2 points per game. Sylvia Fowles scored 19 to go along with 17 rebounds and five blocks in Wednesday's 72-65 loss to Washington.

'I feel like I'm 100 percent,' said Fowles, who played her sixth game following hip surgery. 'I think it's about us just connecting together as a team and sticking together."

The Sky held a 42-33 rebounding edge but shot a season-low 31.3 percent, going 1 for 11 from 3-point range.

"In basketball you could run the perfect set, the perfect play and sometimes the shot won't fall, especially for shooters in the fourth quarter," coach Pokey Chatman said. "That's why there's so much energy and effort and emphasis on the defensive end of the floor and playing hard, smart and together."

Point guard Courtney Vandersloot's recent absence hasn't helped matters. Vandersloot, averaging a league-best 6.4 assists, remains out with a sprained knee suffered June 27.

The Sky had taken three straight from the Mercury before getting blown out last week as Candice Dupree scored 26 points for Phoenix.
