The LA Sparks and Seattle Storm crossed swords in a regular season game at Climate Pledge Arena on Friday. The Sparks entered the matchup with an 11-15 record, sitting in 10th place in the Western Conference standings, while the Storm came in at 16-11, holding the second spot in the conference.
As for the starting lineups, coach Lynne Roberts went with her usual five of Rickea Jackson, Kelsey Plum, Dearica Hamby, Azura Stevens and Julie Allemand. On the flip side, Noelle Quinn stuck with her regular starters as Nneka Ogwumike, Gabby Williams, Erica Wheeler, Skylar Diggins and Ezi Magbegor took the floor.
The first quarter was all about Nneka Ogwumike's aggressiveness on the offensive end. She scored 11 points on 5 of 8 shooting, but despite her hot start, the Storm trailed after the opening period. The Sparks got steady contributions from Rickea Jackson and Azura Stevens, with each player scoring six points, as LA took an 18-16 lead into the second quarter.
Note: Socres will be added at halftime.
