The Fever could have gone into the tank after center Tammy Sutton-Brown suffered a stress reaction in her right big toe against Connecticut. (It kept her from finishing that game and out of matchups at Washington and against Chicago.) Instead, they went to the bench, plugging in backup pivot Jessica Moore (pictured) into Sutton-Brown's spot and didn't miss a beat. The fifth-year veteran averaged 9.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in wins over the Sun (94-85), the Mystics (87-79) and Sky (76-67) that helped extend the Fever's commanding Eastern conference lead over the second-place Sun to five games.

Next three: 8/8 at Phoenix; 8/10 at Los Angeles; 8/13 at Minnesota
