WNBA ROUNDUP \ Saturday's playoff game

Sunday, August 27, 2006 Sun 77, Shock 68 UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Katie Douglas, playing with a hairline fracture in her right foot, provided Connecticut a big spark to force Game 3 today. After missing the first game in the series, Douglas was back in the starting lineup even though she wasn't 100 percent. She provided a lift during one of the big swings of the game, hitting a 3-pointer during a 17-5 run in the third quarter to give the Sun a 54-43 lead. Douglas finished with six points in 29 minutes, and the Sun beat Detroit for the first time in five meetings this season. Despite the spurt, the Shock came right back, outscoring Connecticut 13-5 to cut the deficit to 60-55 at the end of the quarter. Associated Press Copyright 2006 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
