Nolan, Shock Force Game 3 With Comeback Win Over Liberty

Sunday, September 28, 2008

(Sports Network) - Deanna Nolan had 22 points and six rebounds to help the Detroit Shock to a 64-55 victory over the New York Liberty, tying the Eastern Conference Finals at one game apiece.

The deciding Game 3 will be played in Detroit on Monday night.

Katie Smith dropped 11 points while Plenette Pierson added 10 points for the Shock, who used a 25-9 fourth quarter to overcome a seven-point deficit headed into the stanza. Taj McWilliams-Franklin grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds in the victory.

Shameka Christon scored 16 points to lead the Liberty, who won Game 1, 60-56, in New York. Cathrine Kraayeveld contributed seven points and nine rebounds in defeat.

The Shock are looking to reach the WNBA Finals for the third straight season, having won in 2006. The team also won the championship in 2003. New York lost in the Finals in four of the first six years of the league's existence but have yet to win the crown.
