NUMBERS EXPLAINED

BY THE NUMBERS
MN 69, 73, 94.5, .466
DET 78, 74, 105.4, .541
As you can see the pros are pretty close to the magic 100 number in the pp100. All five starters were 100+. Augustus is getting the job done offensively, but again her first quarter was pretty slow. Ohlde is making her coin at the line, she only had one field goal.

Thanks for all the readers that keep me supplied with the news..
