The basketball crashed against the backboard, and point guard sheena lunged for it. as she snatched the ball out of mid-air, the crowd cheered, chanting encouragement for her team, the monarchs. so far, the game had been a disaster. with 15 seconds left to go in the final quarter, the monarchs were 2 points shy of victory. what main idea do the details in the passage suggest? the point guard sheena was not a very good player. the monarchs had never lost a basketball game. the monarchs were worried about losing. the crowd was not supporting the monarchs.
