In keeping with SB Nation’s innovative use of social media in reshaping sports journalism, our vision is a women's basketball site that goes beyond merely providing game reports; instead, we want to capture the narratives that fuel our passion for the game, while maintaining the critical stance that helps us understand the game better.

The Tulsa Shock now have a new streak to crow about, a win streak. After posting a WNBA-record 20 game losing streak, Tulsa has won their last two consecutive games. The Shock was led by huge performances (again) by Sheryl Swoopes, Tiffany Jackson and Ivory Latta - the "Three Musketeers" from Friday's win at LA. Swoopes had a new season-high of 22 points and seven rebounds after going for 17 and hitting the game-winning shot against the Sparks.

Jackson posted her eighth double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds in the win. Latta ended the day with 19 points and six assists, definitely point guard-worthy numbers. The Sun appear, at least to my eye, to be a one-hit-wonder. Connecticut lived and died by Tina Charles, who finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds in the loss.

Up next for the Shock is a home date with the Phoenix Mercury. The Sun continue their road trip in Texas as they face the Silver Stars on Tuesday.
