Say this for the Shock: they may be losing, but at least they're fighting. After getting thrashed 80-64 on the road against New York last Thursday, Detroit returned home to face Connecticut and gave the Sun everything they could handle. Rookie Shavonte Zellous had 20 points while Katie Smith added a season-high 28. But the Shock's scoring binge wasn't enough to turn back the Sun, who prevailed 95-92 in OT. And if that wasn't deflating enough, the Shock lost Deana Nolan to a pulled right hamstring in the third quarter. She's listed as day-to-day.

Next three: 7/11 at Connecticut; 7/15 at Seattle; 7/18 at Phoenix
