Quote of the Day: Richard Cohen
From today's column, about yesterday's games. Specifically the Minnesota @ Phoenix game:
"The second half was a little different. They were still going head-to-head, firing away at each other, but whaddaya know? The Mercury decided to play a little defense. Shows you just how desperate they were for a win – they were willing to break the habit of a lifetime. Of course, they didn’t go overboard. After threes from Penny Taylor and Marie Ferdinand-Harris put the Mercury in front by four late in the third quarter, they were still happy to leave [Maya] Moore wandering around outside the three-point line without anyone paying much attention to her. She sank two triples in the closing minutes, took her personal tally to 20 for the day, and took the Lynx into the fourth quarter up 64-62."
