"With Yolanda Griffith resting her arthritic knees for most of Sunday's game, Sacramento's reserves filled the void and helped themselves to an 89-69 victory over Detroit in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals at Arco Arena," writes Melody Gutierrez of THE SACRAMENTO BEE. "In front of an announced crowd of 15,218, the Monarchs' bench outscored the Shock's 42-17, allowing Sacramento to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. Game 4 is Wednesday at Arco Arena."

"Monarchs coach John Whisenant uses an acronym to describe what his team must be to repeat as the WNBA champion," writes Melody Gutierrez of THE SACRAMENTO BEE. "He calls it FAD. Focused. Alert. Determined. Whisenant will ask his players to be all three today at Arco Arena, where the Monarchs face Detroit at 1:30 p.m. in Game 3 of their best-of-five series."

In the USA TODAY, Kevin Allen writes that "as it turned out, the Sacramento Monarchs were a predator camouflaged by their own inefficiency during the WBNA season. They were the defending WNBA champions, but there wasn't much talk about the Monarchs during the regular season, especially when they were a .500 team at the end of June." However, "after finishing 21-13, the Monarchs are 5-0 in the postseason and hold a 1-0 lead against the Detroit Shock in the best-of-five WNBA Finals heading into tonight's (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2)."

In the SACARMENTO BEE, Melody Gutierrez writes that "the Monarchs have gotten used to being the underdogs. And the results this postseason have looked eerily similar as Sacramento rolled over Detroit 95-71 in Wednesday's opening game of the WNBA Finals at the Palace of Auburn Hills. The win came one day after Shock coach Bill Laimbeer guaranteed his team would defeat the Monarchs in the best-of-five series."

In the SACRAMENTO BEE, Melody Gutierrez writes that "both coaches are calling it a battle, a dogfight, a collision." The bruising "starts today, when the defending WNBA champion Monarchs face the Detroit Shock in Game 1 of the Finals at the Palace of Auburn Hills (7:30 ET, ESPN 2). It is "hard to gauge how the teams will fare against each other. In their two regular-season meetings, the home team won in lopsided fashion. Detroit beat Sacramento 91-71 on July 26, and four days later, the Monarchs romped past the Shock 94-61."

In the SACRAMENTO BEE, Marty McNeal writes that "the Monarchs are on the verge of something special -- back-to-back championships. They've swept best-of-three series against the Houston Comets and Los Angeles Sparks to return to the WNBA Finals against the Detroit Shock. That shows maturity. It shows they learned how disciplined and focused they would have to be to repeat. Few teams actually get that, so kudos to the ladies and coach John Whisenant and his staff."

In the DETROIT NEWS, Joanne Gerstner writes that "all Shock coach Bill Laimbeer wanted from his team was maximum effort and focus for 40 minutes. The Shock followed Laimbeer's words perfectly, demolishing the Sun, 79-55, to win the Eastern Conference title. The Shock now advance to the WNBA Finals for the first time since they won the 2003 title. Game 1 will be Wednesday against the 2005 WNBA champion Sacramento Monarchs at The Palace."

In the SACRAMENTO BEE, Melody Gutierrez writes that "less than 24 hours after celebrating their win over Los Angeles for the conference title, the Sacramento Monarchs were back to business and back to analyzing their next plan of attack against WNBA Finals foe Detroit." These Finals will mark "the first time two No. 2 seeds are facing off in the championship." The Monarchs Are 1-1 "against the Shock this season. Both teams took hefty wins on their home courts. Detroit started with a 91-71 victory on July 26, followed by Sacramento's 94-61 victory on July 30."

Melody Gutierrez of THE SACRAMENTO BEE writes, "It will take more than the Monarchs could muster in Thursday's win to take Game 2 of the Western Conference finals today in the Sparks' territory. The turnovers, the low production from the bench and even free-throw shooting will need some work if Sacramento plans to win this series in two games, Monarchs coach John Whisenant said Friday."

In the SACRAMENTO BEE, Ailene Voison writes that "how many more memorable scenarios can Nicole Powell possibly create in her short WNBA playoff career? A year ago she sank the three-pointer that forced overtime in the Western Conference finals opener against the Houston Comets, ultimately propelling the Monarchs to their first title. A few hours ago, when all again appeared lost in Game 1 of the conference finals, this time against the visiting Los Angeles Sparks, she saved the defending champs with a coldly efficient second-half performance."

In the SACRAMENTO BEE, Melody Gonzalez writes that "the Monarchs will play the Sparks at 10:00 pm ET Thursday at Arco Arena. It is unclear whether the Sparks' second-leading scorer, Chamique Holdsclaw, will play after sitting out Tuesday's game with an ongoing foot injury. Sacramento remains injury-free. This is Sacramento's fourth consecutive trip to the Western Conference finals. Sacramento beat Houston in two games last year, lost 2-1 to Seattle in 2004 and lost 2-1 to Los Angeles in 2003."

They will "face the WNBA defending champion Monarchs in Sacramento on Thursday, and play games two and three, the latter if necessary, in Southern California this weekend. They are also facing the team that has eliminated them from the playoffs the last two seasons."

In the SACRAMENTO BEE, Melody Gutierrez writes that "the word ‘momentum' will be thrown around loosely by teams riding a wave of victories entering the first round of the WNBA playoffs." Not so for the Monarchs, "who dropped two of their last three games and are consistently having problems with inconsistency." While Sacramento has been on "cruise control since securing its place in the postseason," its players were "adamant Monday that they are ready for Houston on Thursday (9:00 ET, NBA TV)."

In the USA TODAY, Oscar Dixon writes that “Erin Buescher will tell you playing basketball is not the No. 1 priority in her life. And she means it.” But “no matter where she ranks basketball, the Sacramento Monarchs are happy to have Buescher on their roster.” Buescher is “averaging 10.7 points after just 3.7 her first four years” and has “emerged as a leading candidate for the WNBA's most improved player award.”

In THE SACRAMENTO BEE, Melody Gutierrez writes that "a sloppy victory isn't very gratifying, but it sufficed Sunday as the Monarchs defeated Charlotte 70-61 at Arco Arena in the final game before the All-Star break." Sunday's victory "moved Sacramento into second place in the Western Conference, ahead of Houston. The Monarchs now trail Los Angeles by 3 1/2 games." Sacramento (12-8) "has won five of its last six games, including the last three before the break."
