I watched this game and was entertained from start to finish (how far has the WNBA come) with my only complaint being that the Fever didn’t cover the spread and I lost my bet. Other than that, Kaitlyn provided more than I expected – entertainment and historic plays.
I’ve been critical in the past, but like all her haters, she shut me down. She gave me exactly what I wanted, and I commend her for that. She’s a superstar.
