    Tamika Catchings had 15 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, but the Indiana Fever couldn't prevent the host Tulsa Shock from earning their first victory in their new home Saturday night.

    Chante Black's layup with less than a minute left broke a tie, an 18-foot jumper by Natasha Lacy and free throws from Black and Alexis Hornbuckle clinched a 79-74 victory over Indiana, which had won two games in a row.

    Amber Holt came off the bench to lead Tulsa with 16 points. Lacy put up 15 points, Plenette Pierson scored 12 and Kara Braxton had 11.

    "I didn't think we defended well in the crunch time," Fever coach Lin Dunn said in a news release from the team. "We didn't seem to have a sense of urgency at crunch time, and that wasn't good enough. I thought Tulsa wanted it more."
