Becky Hammon and Vickie Johnson combined for four three-pointers in the last 4 minutes of regulation, but even that wasn’t enough for a win. The San Antonio Silver Stars lost game 2 of the WNBA Finals 69-61 against the Detroit Shock on Friday night. The Stars started out flat-footed and did not score a field goal until six minutes into the first and only scored 12 points in the entire quarter.
In the second, San Antonio gained their footing and went on a 14-0 run to only be behind 35-28 heading into halftime. Detroit took an 11-point lead in the fourth, but San Antonio wouldn't stay silent. The Stars gave one last push late in the fourth quarter with a proliferation of threes. But too little, too late.
