One of the big differences this time is that Plum didn't get rewarded with as many foul calls for jumping into defensive players.  She got one early in the game when she jumped backwards into Amber.  But Tara gave the ref an earful about that and most of the rest of the night Plum jumped into and ran into defenders without getting gift wrapped trips to the foul line.

nlbphd - what kinda handle is that? You're right, Plum has a very distinctive style of play - she drives into traffic and jumps into the opposing player no matter which direction that is - away from the basket, sideways, backwards, wherever the defender happens to be. She gets fouled and to the FT line a lot. Was worried about that first call against Amber and Plum got several more calls like that, but nearly as much as she tried.
