ElenaBaranova, a 6-foot-5 center who possesses the kind of all-around game that Lobo doesn't, gave her better-hyped adversary a lesson in humility, hitting a league record seven 3-pointers as the Utah Starzz shocked the New York Liberty 78-71.
Baranova rejected three straight by Lobo, each swat as clean as the previous one.
Baranova, who has played professionally in Europe and was the leading rebounder (13.1) and second-leading scorer (20.3) at last summer's Olympics, laughed when asked about being left alone at the 3-point arc.
