With 5:25 to play in the fourth quarter and the Fever trailing by 11, Katie Douglas got the ball at the top of the key, drove to the basket past a pair of Phoenix defenders and as she went to put up a lefty layup she was met by Diana Taurasi , who blocked the shot and sent Douglas to the floor.

A sad but true story: Last year, I was in a hotel room somewhere and went over to the thermostat to put it on 72 degrees.

Diana Taurasi is Left Coast. Katie Douglas is left-handed. Both have won NCAA championships.

Well, it was quite the night Friday, in the logjam race for playoff spots that will end next weekend.

Not to get all dramatic on you or anything, but circumstances suggest that any hint of the word "playoffs" around the Connecticut Sun should be met with Jim Mora's classic postgame rant from his days coaching the Colts.

Rebekkah Brunson scored a career-high 32 points and had 13 rebounds, leading the Sacramento Monarchs over the slumping Connecticut Sun, 90-70 on Tuesday night.
