They're Playing Basketball

Saturday, August 12, 2017

Clinching, dance off, free fall, snap

Today's game results:

Jonquel Jones and Alyssa Thomas each had double-doubles to lead the Sun past the Wings, 96-88. Connecticut clinched a playoff spot because they won, and Atlanta lost.

The Mystics routed the Fever, 100-80.

The game, in D.C., was delayed by a leaking roof AGAIN, so players from both teams had a dance off. More humorous video.

The Stars beat the Dream, 83-68, behind Isabelle Harrison's career-high 23 points. Atlanta is in free fall mode lately.

The Storm downed the Mercury, 98-89, to snap a four-game losing streak and spoil Brittney Griner's return.
