The Detroit Shock clamped down on the New York Liberty when the arch-rivals met for the first time this season. It was the Liberty who stifled the Shock, though, in the teams' last game at Madison Square Garden. Detroit returns to New York for the first time since last year's playoffs as it looks to end a three-game road slide Saturday.

The Liberty (9-9) and Shock have already played once this season, a 72-62 win for the Shock on May 25. Detroit built a 54-29 lead through three quarters over New York, which shot 30.8 percent (20-of-65) overall and used a 33-point outburst in the fourth quarter to make the final score more respectable.

The Chicago Sky have spent the last few days trying to shake off a loss to a team that hadn't won in 17 tries this season. The San Antonio Silver Stars will look for their sixth straight victory when they bring the WNBA's longest active winning streak to Chicago, hoping to take over sole possession of the league's best record.

The Sky haven't played since falling 91-84 at Atlanta on Saturday, becoming the first team to lose to the expansion Dream, who had started their first season 0-17. San Antonio, meanwhile, hasn't lost to any team except Houston over its last 12 games, with a pair of five-game winning streaks separated by a home-and-home sweep at the hands of the intrastate rival Comets.
