WNBA ROUNDUP Friday's games



Sting 63, Fever 41
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Tammy Sutton-Brown had 16 points and seven rebounds as the Charlotte Sting held the Indiana Fever to a franchise low in a win.
Sutton-Brown dominated the inside and made 10 of 11 free throws as the Sting (2-1) won their second straight game.
Tamika Catchings had 15 points and eight rebounds for the Fever (1-2), but was injured with 2:10 left. She was hit in the face by Allison Feasters' forearm in a rebounding scrum and sustained a concussion.
No other player scored in double figures for the Fever, whose previous franchise low was 45 points against Houston in 2002. Their 12 points in the second half shattered their previous low of 18 against Seattle last season.
Indiana shot 27 percent, third worst in team history, as it lost its second straight game.
Lynx 73, Mystics 62
MINNEAPOLIS -- Katie Smith scored 28 points, including a key 3-pointer late in the game.
The Mystics fell behind early and rallied behind two fast-break baskets by Coco Miller to cut the lead to 62-56 with 1:40 to play. On the next possession, Smith launched a 3-pointer from the right wing that banked in.
Minnesota (2-2) was coming off its worst offensive game in franchise history, a 56-44 loss at San Antonio. But a fast start and strong second-half play by their rookies helped avoid a second straight loss.
Silver Stars 72, Monarchs 63
SAN ANTONIO -- Shannon Johnson scored 15 points and had a dozen assists.
The Silver Stars fell behind 8-0, but they went on a 17-8 run to take the lead for good midway through the first half. San Antonio built its lead to 17 points late in the game.
Adrienne Goodson led the Silver Stars with 17 points, while Marie Ferdinand had 16 and LaToya Thomas 12. Margo Dydek paced all rebounders with 10.
Thomas was activated from the injured list earlier in the day after missing the first three games with a left calf strain.
Yolanda Griffith led Sacramento with 19 points, nine rebounds and six steals.
