Last night, the Detroit Shock proved what some folks have been saying for the entire WNBA season-- they may be the best team in the league this year. In the deciding Game Three of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Shock dismantled the top-seeded and two-time defending conference champion Connecticut Sun, 79-55, on the Sun's home court. Detroit won the series 2-1, earning the team's first trip back to The WNBA Finals since 2003 when they won the championship.
At 23-11, Detroit didn't have the best record in the WNBA this season. The Shock finished third behind Connecticut (26-8) and Los Angeles (25-9). But, I have my fingers crossed the electrifying ladies of Motown, the Princesses of the Palace, will be able to do what their princely counterparts, the Pistons have failed to do twice-- RECLAIM THE TITLE! The Shock now face the defending WNBA champion Sacramento Monarchs in the five-game Finals series beginning Wednesday night. All games can be seen on ESPN2.
GO SHOCK! Bring the trophy home and change the address in Auburn Hills to Five Championship Drive.
Oh, Good Evening!
