BOX SCORE
MIAMI (AP) -- Taj McWilliams scored 16 of her 17 points in the second half, and Adrienne Johnson scored five points in the final two minutes, leading the Orlando Miracle to a 66-63 victory over the Miami Sol on Friday. The victory was Orlando's fourth in five games. Adrienne Johnson and Shannon Johnson scored 14 points apiece to help Orlando maintain first place in the Eastern Conference and beat the Sol for the second time in three days. Despite Katrina Colleton's 14 points and Sheri Sam's 10, and the support of thousands of boisterous camp children during the Sol's only day game of the season, Miami dropped its fourth straight. With the score 57-57 and 1:47 left, Adrienne Johnson hit a 3-pointer. Miami's Marlies Askamp, who had eight points and eight rebounds, made 1-of-2 free throws, then rebounded her own miss which led to two free throws by Debbie Black, tying it at 60 with 1:23 remaining. Shannon Johnson, who made 10-of-10 free throws, hit two for a 62-60 Miracle lead. Orlando made 21-of-22 from the line. Sam's 3-point attempt rimmed out with 37 seconds left and Adrienne Johnson clinched the victory with a 15-foot jumper. Sales and Adrienne Johnson scored seven points each, leading the Miracle to a 27-25 halftime lead. Miami broke the 60-point barrier for the first time in eight games. Miami outrebounded Orlando 37-24, but made only 1-of-12 from 3-point range. | ALSO SEE WNBA Scoreboard RECAPS Orlando 66 Miami 63 AUDIO/VIDEO   Kristen Rasmussen makes the layup to tie the game late in the 4th quarter.avi: 480 k RealVideo: 56.6 | ISDN | T1 Taj McWilliams scored from all over the floor for a game-high 17 points.avi: 855 k RealVideo: 56.6 | ISDN | T1 | |||||
