Phoenix at Detroit

This has been a disappointing season for last year's WNBA Champions. They battled injuries early and just never got over the top, but the talent is still there. They have regrouped to go 11-8 in their last 19 games and have won four of their last five. When you look at the eight losses, three of them were in OT, and three others by five points or less, so they are in virtually every game and they have won four of their last five at home. They will have their game faces on tonight, because they will be motivated to knock off the Western leader, the Phoenix Mercury, and at the same time revenge a hard-fought loss in Phoenix, decided in OT. Phoenix has been on cruise control after a 12-4 start and are just 6-4 since, so I like the Shock here to rev-it-up and win a big one for them at home.
