CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ This is a weird time to go to a basketball game at Charlotte Coliseum.
It's June, and although it still says ``Home of the Hornets'' on the signs driving in, the Hornets don't live here anymore.
Only the Charlotte Sting remain.
But it didn't feel weird at 10:30 p.m. Saturday, as the Charlotte Sting finished off the defending WNBA champion L.A. Sparks in overtime, 94-87.
It felt like the best WNBA game that has ever been played in the Coliseum, because that's exactly what it was.
If the ``Save our Sting'' campaigners could bottle Saturday night and sell it, there would never be any question that the Sting would stay here even though the Hornets have bolted.
There were 10,063 fans screaming Saturday for the Sting's season opener, creating a better atmosphere than at nearly every Hornets game the past two seasons. There was a national ESPN audience. And there was an unexpected win featuring unexpected stars (Kelly Miller with 23 points?!!) over an L.A. juggernaut that had whipped Charlotte nine times a row_including two straight in last year's one-sided WNBA Finals.
