Detroit and Los Angeles opened the season as the popular picks to reach the WNBA Finals, and both teams are now one step away from fulfilling those expectations. The Sparks host top-seeded San Antonio in the opener of the conference finals Thursday night, and Detroit visits New York for the first game of the East finals the following night. The Shock have home-court advantage against the Liberty, but will be playing their home games at Eastern Michigan University’s Convocation Center — an hour away from The Palace of Auburn Hills — due to scheduling conflicts. “It is what it is — we’ll have our floor and our baskets, and I expect that the place will be packed with Shock fans,” Laimbeer said. “We’ll handle it.”http://www.sportsline.com/wnba/story/10993825/1
