Shock Fall Short In Conf. Finals

After four straight seasons of being knocked out of the playoffs by the Detroit Shock, the Indiana Fever finally returned the favor last night in a hard-fought Game 3 in Indiana.

The Shock battled despite being without the services of two key forwards in Katie Smith and Plenette Pierson. Their injuries were undoubtedly what held Detroit back, and there's no question the Shock will return in 2010 eager to compete for another WNBA championship title.
