The Los Angeles Sparks snapped the Indiana Fever’s five-game winning streak with a decisive 100-91 victory at the Crypto.com Arena. The Sparks’ potent offense was on full display, with Kelsey Plum and Rickea Jackson leading the charge, each scoring 25 points. Plum also dished out a game-high 11 assists, notching her second double-double of the season. Cameron Brink, playing her third game back from an injury, tied her career high with five blocks.
Indiana, who had been red-hot coming into the matchup, was led by Kelsey Mitchell’s 34 points and six assists, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Sparks’ balanced attack and defense. The Fever got off to a strong start, taking a one-point lead after the first quarter (27-26), but Los Angeles took control with a 28-point second quarter and never looked back. While Indiana mounted a late comeback, trimming a 22-point deficit down to just six with two minutes left in the game (95-89), they were unable to overcome the Sparks’ lead.
