The Sun Beat LA in Boston and Sean is here to break down the game and talk about some of the reaction to the game -- including highlights from the game on the court, and some of the talk off the court about bringing the WNBA to Boston more in the future. We also play some audio from the post-game press conference so you can hear from the players themselves about what it meant to play in front of a SOLD OUT TD Garden crowd.

Sean recaps the Olympic Women's Basketball results and talks about the Sun practices during the Olympic break, including Marina Mabrey getting a well deserved clam chowder and proclaiming to the country that East Coast sandwiches reign supreme.
