The Los Angeles Sparks led the Phoenix Mercury 18 points before a disappointing third quarter led to their defeat, 85-80. Odyssey Sims was a standout performer for LA, scoring 32 points, supported by Dearica Hamby's 15 points and 8 rebounds. Early dominance was highlighted by strong shooting and defensive efforts, but the Sparks faltered in the second half, allowing Phoenix to regain momentum. Ultimately, a late-game scoring run by the Mercury sealed Los Angeles's fate, despite their strong start.
Los Angeles had taken over the momentum with their strong defense and scoring. The Sparks were up to 52% scoring from the field while Phoenix was at a rough 29%.
A quick 9-0 scoring run from LA to end the first put them ahead by 10. The second quarter began just as positively as the first with Los Angeles dominating Phoenix completely.
