ICYMI: Sparks Halt Fever’s Winning Streak (91 – 100)

August 7, 2025

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.

Full Game Highlights

Indiana is on the tail-end of a five-game road trip, with their last game against the Phoenix Mercury this Thursday. The LA Sparks will also host the Connecticut Sun on Thursday.

Angel Reese suffered season-ending wrist injury against the Los Angeles Sparks  

September 8, 2024

Angel Reese, posted on her @angelreese5 Instagram account;

What a year. I never would have imagined the last bucket of my rookie season would be a 3 but maybe that was God saying give them a taste of what they will be seeing more of in Year 2 lol🥲 Through it all, I have showed that I belong in this league even when no one else believed. All I have ever wanted was to come into the W and make an impact. I can confidently say I have done that and will strive to keep doing so. I’m filled with emotions right now that I have a season ending injury, but also filled with so much gratitude for what is next. Although this is God’s timing and not mine, I am finally able to give myself a physical and mental break. “God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.”

You’ll still see me being the biggest cheerleader on the sideline! And Unrivaled league, see you soon!
