Perfect Storm

I'm hoarse as hell.
(Is this what all sports fans feel like after a great game?)

The Storm came back tonight from their Friday-night loss to the Monarchs, beating Sacramento 66-54.

Since Kaufmann turned me on to the Storm last year, I've attended close to 10 or 15 games. Nothing prepared me for how well the team was playing tonight, especially in the first half. It's not just the Lauren And Sue Show - the whole team was integrated, conducting a dizzying ballet of hard-ass basketball. The Storm really want to win the finals. You can see it on their faces, and you can definitely see it in their play.

The crowd, of course, loved every minute (except the bits with the refs, who clearly were trying to do for Sacramento what Sacramento could not do for itself).

Tickets for Tuesday's game (you know, the one where we squash Sacramento again and win the Western Conference) went on sale right after we won; a half hour in line, and tix were secured. I'm going with Kaufmann and Brynn.

(The Storm don't lose in Key Arena!)
