Another week of WNBA action for L.A. and another week of winning just as much as losing as the Sparks stay at .500.
L.A. Sparks 77, Chicago Sky 62
The Sparks started the week off well, beating the Chicago Sky 77-62 thanks to another dominant performance from Nneka Ogwumike, who recorded her fourth double-double in a row with 19 points and 14 rebounds.
Jordin Canda, a player more known for her defensive prowess and ability to distribute the ball, had a big offensive game scoring 16 points. Dearica Hamby matched that point total in what was easily her best game as a Spark.
Los Angeles was in control the entire game and even with a poor shooting night (the team went 4-of-23 from beyond the arc), they were able to close things out in the fourth, going on a 15-2 run to secure the win.
Many positives came out of this victory against an Eastern Conference opponent, but one negative was the injury to Layshia Clarendon during the second quarter. They suffered a leg injury, had to be helped off the floor and went straight to the locker room.
INJURY UPDATE: Sparks guard Layshia Clarendon suffered a partial tear of the right plantar fascia. They will be out approximately 4-6 weeks. A further update will be provided when available.
