Still Going. Although the Mystics are done for the season, the WNBA Playoffs are still going on and a number of players with D.C. connections remain in the quest for this year's WNBA championship. The defending WNBA champion Sacramento Monarchs, whose roster includes two D.C. area natives, Kara (yes, we know she played Pee Wee football) Lawson and former Hoya, Becky Brunson, face off tonight in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals (10 PM EDT on NBA TV or WNBA.com) against the Mystics West Los Angeles Sparks, whose roster includes former Mystics players Chamique Holdsclaw, Murriel Page, and Temeka Johnson.

The Eastern Conference Finals kick off earlier in the evening with the Connecticut Sun (minus injured All-Star MVP Katie Douglas) playing the Shock in Detroit beginning at 7:30 PM. This game is also being broadcast on NBA TV and WNBA.com.
