Austin has...not played a lot. I get that she wasn't super effective outside of the two 3s in the first quarter, but we could use her shooting. 50-42 Charlotte.

Bellamy has been really frustrating tonight. Alternating between good plays and bad plays. Good finish on one possession, then doesn't go after a loose ball and commits a foul on the next.

Jackson gets the benefit of an NBA continuation call (read: terrible call) for an and-1. Cuts it to 51-47. This is not a game in which Rice can complain about the refs.

Fisher through contact for an and-1. She cuts it to 53-52 with 3:18 left.

Man, down 1 and Fisher misses an open layup and then Austin forces an unnecessary 3. Charlotte comes down and hits an open 3. 56-52 with 1:38 left.

Really a case of Charlotte making the difficult shots in the 4th quarter while we're not making the easy ones. The stretch in the 3rd quarter was bad, but the game was still winnable after that. We've missed too many makable shots to win tonight. 58-54 Charlotte with 49 seconds left.

Charlotte wins 66-61 despite desperately trying to keep us in it with their FT shooting.

Big step back from the last few games. Never felt like a game we were going to win despite Charlotte not playing great either. Shooting splits of 33/21/65.

We didn't play particularly well those last two home games; just barely eeked out wins against relatively weak competition. Suddenly, this team cannot win on the road. Our own FT shooting cost us the game. Horrendous games by both Austin and Crosthwait.

We gotta solve Charlotte.

Not sure what's going on with this team. Seem like there is no chemistry among the players and our guard play is killing us
