		Connecticut's Nykesha Sales, right, steals the ball from Seattle's Sue Bird (10) in the backcourt and drives for two of her 32 points to cut the Storm's lead to three points in the final minutes.
		Nykesha Sales tried to define the indefinable, how suddenly she discovered a shooting zone against the Storm last night that no one in the modest history of the WNBA Finals had ever seen.
		Sales was so wrapped up in her zone that it wasn't until later she realized the significance of her final shot.

		Sales said that even though the game went crazy with about two minutes left as players attempted dunks and half-court shots, she took this All-Star Game more seriously than her previous five.
