The Sparks survived a late comeback attempt to secure their first win of the season by defeating the Washington Mystics.
The Sparks survived a fourth-quarter comeback attempt to secure their first win of the season, holding off the Washington Mystics 70-68 on Tuesday at Walter Pyramid. The Sparks avoided their first 0-3 start since 2015 behind a balanced offense led by 20 points from Lexie Brown. The guard hit two free throws with 14.7 seconds remaining that gave the Sparks a three-point lead. But the Mystics scored quickly on the other end with a layup by Ariel Atkins.
Brink finished with four points and eight rebounds, while fellow rookie Rickea Jackson played a season-best 31 minutes with nine points and three rebounds. Dearica Hamby scored 14 of her 17 points in the third quarter to help the Sparks rally from a 36-32 halftime deficit. Despite missing five of her six shots, the forward pulled down 12 rebounds in the first half, surpassing her league-leading average per game of 11.5 boards. The two-time WNBA sixth player of the year averaged 24.
