CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Rushia Brown scored 24 points to lead the Cleveland Rockers to an 80-59 victory over the Charlotte Sting on Saturday night. The Sting (3-15), who lost nine consecutive home games before beating Miami 76-60 Wednesday, led 15-10 with 11:36 left in the first half after a 12-foot jumper by Tiffany Travis. But Cleveland responded with a 7-0 run, featuring a three-point play by Brown, and the Rockers (9-8) never trailed again. Mery Andrade added 17 points on 8-for-10 shooting for Cleveland, which stayed 2 1/2 games behind the first-place Orlando Miracle in the WNBA's Eastern Conference.
