WNBA Sept. 19

Question

Sparks-Sun Over 162&#xA;Have to believe this Game 2 goes Over the total. Game 1 fell just short of going Over with 159 points scored. Both teams shot very bad from the foul line and from 3-point range in the opener. Expecting a correction in this short turnaround. &#xA;From reading Derek Fisher&#x27;s quotes it sounds like he&#x27;s emphasizing offense rather than defense. Probably a mistake but that&#x27;s why Fisher is one of the worst coaches in the WNBA. The Sparks have given up an average of more than 88 points during their last six road games.

GL Wiseguy,&#xA;The shooting in Game #1 was pretty bad to begin with, both teams had scored just 6 points combined after 4 mins in the opening quarter. Those little scoreless droughts can effect the game so much and like you said, the first game just fell short by 3 points even after that horrible start to the game. Have seen time and time again, the amount of fouling at the end of these games can feel like an eternity and teams will foul even being down by 8 points with 30 seconds left.
