On Sunday, Taurasi had 20 points and a season-high six assists along with five rebounds and three blocks in a 104-89 victory over Los Angeles. The win pushed Phoenix past Minnesota in the West before the Lynx drew even again Tuesday night with an overtime victory against Washington.

Taurasi is second in the league with 21.1 points per game, and Cappie Pondexter has moved into third at 20.6. Pondexter averaged 21.5 points, 51.6 percent shooting, 7.5 rebounds, and 6.0 assists last week.

Phoenix will be looking to improve to 7-0 against the Sky.

Chicago is seeking the best 12-game start in franchise history, but the Sky are 1-5 away from home this season.

The surprising Chicago Sky continue their three-game road trip against the Sacramento Monarchs tonight.

Chicago is second in the Eastern Conference, two games back of first-place Indiana, thanks greatly to a 5-0 home record.

The Sky are 1-4 on the road, continuing a problem that has existed for the franchise since entering the WNBA in 2006. They've won 14 of their 56 road games all-time, with eight of those victories coming in 2007 before going 4-13 away from home last year.

Chicago has won once in three games at Sacramento and lost its most recent visit, 82-70 on June 22, 2008.

The Monarchs are 1-2 at home after going 13-4 last year en route to their sixth consecutive playoff appearance.

Sacramento's 38.3 percent shooting from the field ranks last in the league, while Chicago is second-best at 45.5.

In a matchup of unlikely early contenders, the Lynx look to remain undefeated versus the East and win their third straight against the Washington Mystics tonight.

Minnesota averaged 94.0 points in two wins versus Washington last season, including a 26-point victory last Sept. 14. It was the Lynx's largest-ever margin of victory against the Mystics.

The Mystics have been held below 70 points in two of their last three games, and have dropped three of four following a strong start.

Washington's Marissa Coleman may not get her first chance to face Minnesota. The rookie forward, averaging 12.7 points, has missed eight straight games with a sprained left ankle. Her status remains uncertain.

The Mystics are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings in Minnesota, while the Lynx are 8-0 ATS in their last eight vs. the East.

Asjha Jones has helped take some of the pressure off Gruda with another strong season.

Jones had 18 points, five rebounds and five assists for the Sun in a win Sunday. The Sun have won four of five after opening the season 1-3.

Jones had her best game in Connecticut’s 82-68 win over Atlanta on June 27, finishing with season highs of 24 points and 12 rebounds.

Atlanta has dropped six of its last eight games, including a 78-74 loss Sunday at Eastern Conference-leading Indiana.

Erika de Souza, who played for the Sun in 2007 before being acquired by Atlanta in the expansion draft, is averaging 11.0 points and 6.0 boards in the two games against her former team this season.

The Storm will try to avoid a third straight defeat tonight when they open a four-game homestand against the San Antonio Silver Stars, who are winless on the road.

Seattle has dropped into third place in the West and are looking to take advantage of their homestand to help regain their footing. They are 3-0 at home this season.

San Antonio is seeking its first road win in four tries. The Silver Stars defeated Chicago 85-72 on Friday, bouncing back after suffering their first home loss earlier in the week to Washington.

San Antonio won two of three against Seattle last season, but lost the one meeting at KeyArena.

The Silver Stars are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings with Seattle.

The scuffle went down when Los Angeles' Candice Parker and Detroit's Cheryl Ford got into it when Ford fouled Parker. The two had to be separated, but the game continued. However, when Parker later got in a confrontation with Detroit's Plenette Pierson, the WNBA smackdown began. Can we get a hoo raah?

Parker's Los Angeles teammate Lisa Leslie turned the trick in 2002.

Following the historic dunk, Parker jumped on a plane and flew to New York to receive the Honda-Broderick Cup award, given annually to the best female college athlete in America.
