That was close...


Steph and Dan are fans of the Phoenix Mercury, the WNBA team; they are season ticket holders.  Today was a playoff game vs the Minnesota Lynx.  For our benefit, they didn't go for their regular seats, but found very reasonable seats for the four of us.

The pre-game hoopla...




The first quarter didn't go well for the Mercury, with their score lagging behind the Lynx.  By the second quarter, they picked up some steam...


At half time, it was all tied up.

The lead went back and forth through the rest of the game.  Both teams were "in it"...




In the last few seconds of the 4th quarter, it was all tied up...


A foul with 1.5 seconds left, gave the Lynx two free throws...


Yeah, the Mercury lost by one... a tough ending for their season.  They were the league Champions last year, so it was tough for the Mercury fans who were hoping for another Championship.

We "drowned our sorrows" with a fine meal at the Old Spaghetti Factory.  Well, it was Diet Coke, but we stuffed our bellies.
