The New York Liberty defeated the Detroit Shock last night in WNBA action to move onto the Eastern Conference Finals. The 66-44 win came on a last second shot by Bethany Donaphin that gave the Liberty a 2-1 series victory. The Liberty await the winner of tonight's Washington Mystic and Connecticut Sun game.

Becky Hammon led the Liberty with 20 points and went 4 of 11 on 3-point shots, and one crucial assist to Donaphin on the winning shot. The game was played in front of a crowd of 9,785, not exactly a sell-out crowd at Madison Square Garden.

Last second shot to win 66-44? Even with 22-pointers, I don't know if I could watch WNBA basketball. Blah-blah-beauty of the game--blah--blah--passing..blah.
