For whatever reason I can't quite fathom, the WNBA decided that today's Detroit Shock at Charlotte Sting game should have an 11:30 am tipoff. So, with the first quarter already over, the Shock are ahead 25-15.

Katie Smith leads Detroit with six points, and Kedra Holland-Corn has come off the bench to score five.

As usual, the leading rebounder is Cheryl Ford with three.
