Their teams played each other tonight, LA vs Dallas. Candace was very emotional and wore Orange shoes with the word, REBOUND, written on them like she wore at Tennessee.

After Candace's first made shot she pointed up at the sky at Pat Summitt.

Very physical game and a LA player got elbowed in the head and began bleeding heavily. Candace got really pissed and thought it was Glory that had elbowed her teammate, but it wasn't Glory. Glory even shoved Candace on the next play.

LA was down by 22 points in the 3rd quarter, but then Candace, playing with a lot of emotion, took over the game, and scored 31 points, and a season high 13 rebounds.

LA won by 5 points.

In the post-game interview Candace said she played tonight for Pat Summitt, and the remainder of the WNBA season would be played for Pat.

It was Candice who shoved Glory on the next play and she should of got a T for it after chewing out the ref just before accusing Glory of being a dirty player, saying "everytime! " but she got her emotions under control and proved why she is the best playere in the game

Also worth noting, at the end of the game immediately after the buzzer sounded, Parker went right up to Glory and gave her a big hug and they had a nice exchange for a few moments. Parker was also playfully jawing back and forth with Pierson throughout the night who she had gotten into the brawl with 8 years ago. Candace can be an emotional player but by all accounts seems well liked by her teammates and competitors.

I was holding it together until after the game I seen Parker bawling embracing Nneka, then Nneka starts crying. Candace does her interview with Holly at the end both lose it.

Candace dropped 25 points in the 2nd half and ended up with 31pts 13rbs and 7 while bringing her team back from 22 down. That's a crazy stat line.

I have never seen a player, with a heavy heart play with such emotion, Parker made Pat proud tonight. She literally played as if COACH Pat was on the sidelines with tha STARE saying, "Go get them Candance the way I taught you to play." And boy did she get the job done. What a way to honor your fallen hero and role model.
