Yesterday’s WNBA action was certainly exciting for both the Eastern and Western Conference Finals. The Detroit Shock beat NY Liberty 64-55, and LA Sparks were eliminated by San Antonio Silver stars, 76-72.
The two heroes of the day were Deanna Nolan of the Detroit Shock (pictured on the right) and Becky Hammon of the San Antonio Stars.
Deanna Nolan scored 22 points to lead the Shock in their victory over the Liberty in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals Sunday. They play again tonight at 7pm EST on ESPN2.
In the West, Becky Hammon led the Silver Stars in their Western Conference Championship by scoring 35 points and making four free throws in the final 36 seconds.
It was definately an exciting day for the WNBA. Tonight’s matchup will be equally exciting; I just wish we wasn’t so overpowered by all of the football coverage going on right now.
It is unfortunate that the WNBA is so overpowered by men’s sporting events. During the WNBA playoffs, it is such an exciting time for women’s athletics. The women who play in the league are so dedicated and passionate about basketball. They are so great at what they do. It would be much better if the country would just catch onto women’s basketball. It is important for women who love sports to get involved with the WNBA so more and more people can catch on and become a fan!
