When the Stars began this road trip back on Sunday evening, there was some hope they’d continue the ride they’ve been on in February and win at least one of the three games they came to California to play. Tonight’s game was the second half of a back-to-back, but there was reason to believe they could pull out a win after two demoralizing losses on the road. In 8 back-to-back instances this year, the Stars have won 6 of the second halves. Apparently, they like playing tired. They’re perverse like that.
And thankfully, they were feeling it tonight.
