The Comets shot 5 for 18 in the fourth quarter while the Mystics shot 7 for 13 from the field. The Mystics took a 65 to 59 lead with 1.42 left in the game then HELD on for the win.
After a foul was called on Mystics' Nikki Blue before the ball was inbounded, Tina Thompson had a chance to pull the Comets within one point (65 to 64) with 10.4 seconds left in the game. But, Thompson missed the free throw. The Comets retained possession; Michelle Snow received the inbound pass; drove to the bucket; and laid up a shot off the glass that rimmed out.

Tamecka sat out the game with a sore Achilles' tendon. It's been bothering her for a while.
