Monarchs are in control
The 4th quarter tragedy in Game 2 for the Monarchs was apparently long gone from their minds on Sunday night. The Monarchs came back with a steller all-around team effort in Sacramento with an 89-69 win over the Shock. They took control of the series and are up 2-1.
Yolanda Griffith and the Sacramento Monarchs are in the process of proving history can repeat itself. The Monarchs got 15 points from Yolanda Griffith and Nicole Powell added 14. The amazing stat was the 42 points made by their very talented, hard working bench. The word that best describes the Sacramento Monarchs is ``DEEP``! The Monarchs´s reserve corps have consistently made an impact in this Final Series, as well as over the entire season, with Erin Buescher, Hamchetou Maiga-Ba, Kristen Haynie, Rebekkah Brunson, and Scholanda Dorrell.
For the Detroit Shock, Deanna Nolan scored 22 points to be one of just two players in double figures for Detroit, which was once again plagued by turnovers with 23. The Shock had a Finals-record 24 giveaways in the opener.
"Our 23 turnovers we had today ... a lot of them were just dumb, throw the ball away, no aggression turnovers," Laimbeer said. "Just bad, bad plays."
Cheryl Ford scored 11 points and grabbed eight rebounds for Detroit, which shot 45 percent (24-of-53) despite missing all eight of its 3-pointers.
Sacramento could close out the series on their home court. They host Game 4 on Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET, ESPN 2
