Merc's Coach Westhead

After the game, Mercury head coach spoke with the media and gave his take on the game:

"...we're happy..."

Mistie Stepped Up

The Houston Comets picked up a gutsy 75 to 67 victory Tuesday night over the San Antonio Silver Stars.

The Comets (3-11) overcame 32 points from the Silver Stars' Becky Hammon thanks to solid team defense and balance scoring. Four of Houston's five starters scored in double-figures.

After the game, during her post-game press conference, Comets head coach Karleen Thompson credited Sancho Lyttle and Mistie Williams for their solid efforts. Lyttle scored a season-high 12 points and grabbed a game-high eight rebounds in just 19 minutes while Williams came off the bench and scored three points; pulled down six rebounds; picked up one assist and one steal; and was a very active presence on defense in her 10 minutes and 28 seconds.

Williams played all but the final 33 seconds of the fourth quarter and helped the Comets outscore the Silver Stars 24 to 13 in the fourth period.

Coach "Tree" Rollins of Mystics Speaks on Loss

"We didn't play normal defense tonight, I thought we could have forced more turnovers tonight against Houston." "The Comets took the momentum away from us midway during the 2nd quater, they shot the ball above 50% for the entire night and we were not able to stop them."
"We just have to put our talent together, and when that happens we will be alright."

Coach comments on Alan Beard - " Alana Beard, is great leader and player for our team; there were times during the game that I think our team took some minutes off and we can't afford to do that."

Coach comments on Monique Currie - "Currie is good player and a very athletic player as well, she is coming a long way on being in the league for 1 season."

KT is "happy" for her team

The Houston Comets defeated the Washington Mystics 95 to 85 Friday night. With the win, the Comets' record improves to 2 and 10.

Listen to Comets' head coach Karleen Thompson's post-game press conference:

"...happy for them..."

Coach Cooper Comments on Sparks Loss

"The turn overs are what hurt us in this game, I think it was more of what they did on defense that caused a lot of our issues. "

"When the Comets, put Moore on Fernandez, you can tell what they were trying to do, Marta making her way to the basket often at the begining of the second half and the Comets knew they needed to stop that in order to win. I give them credit that was a good defense switch that I feel changed the momentum of the game."

Karleen after First Win

If you think Houston Comets' head coach Karleen Thompson was relieved and excited to end a 10-game losing streak with a 74 to 64 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks Wednesday night, you are definitely correct; however, I bet you'd be a little bit suprised to hear Coach Thompson's reaction.

Take a listen: "WOOOOH..."

The Comets will go for win number two Friday night versus the Washington Mystics. Tip-off is set for 7:30pm at Toyota Center.

Tina is disappointed

To say the least, Tina Thompson hates to lose. Unfortunately for Thompson, the Houston Comets continued their worst stretch of basketball Monday night with an 82 to 67 loss to the Sacramento Monarchs Monday night. The Comets are now 0 and 7 on the season; but, Tina still maintains a positive outlook.

KT after close loss to Detroit

If you believe in a good loss, the Houston Comets probably picked up one Saturday night in their 77 to 71 loss to the Detroit Shock. Though the loss drops Houston to 0 and 4 on the 2007 WNBA season, the Comets made strides and battled the defending champs throughout the ball game.
