* Whalen and the CT Sun are the best team in the WNBA. With the win, Connecticut is now 13-5 on the season, and 8-2 at home. Because of losses tonight by the L.A. Sparks (to New York), and the Detroit Shock (to San Antonio in OT), the Sun’s 13-5 record is the best in the WNBA.

In tonight’s game, Lindsay Whalen had 9 assists (a season high), giving her 744 for her career. That places her first in Connecticut Sun history. She surpassed Shannon Johnson, who had 737 in her Orlando Miracle/Connecticut Sun career, which lasted five seasons (1999-2003) Whalen broke the record with her third assist of the night which came with 6:14 remaining in the second quarter.

Whalen even picked up a technical foul:
On her technical
“I think I kind of raised my hands. I think it was a gesture. Probably was a little to aggressive in what I said and how I said it more than anything. I don’t remember. It was a momentary lapse. If anyone gets the tech it’s usually Coach. I don’t know what to say about it.”
