The LA Sparks stunned the Washington Mystics 92-87 in a thriller fueled by clutch shooting and historic milestones. Erica Wheeler scored 8 points in the final 70 seconds to seal the win, finishing with 21, while Nneka Ogwumike dominated with 20 points and 11 rebounds—and made WNBA history by moving into sixth all-time in rebounds and setting a Sparks franchise record with 2,339 field goals made. Cameron Brink tied her season high with 16 points, and Dearica Hamby added 14 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. Despite Kelsey Plum’s absence due to illness and an ankle issue, the Sparks rallied from a tied 81-81 late in the fourth, thanks to Ogwumike’s big three and Wheeler’s heroics. The Mystics’ Shakira Austin poured in 25 points and 10 rebounds. The Sparks head to Connecticut Saturday, while the Mystics face Chicago Tuesday—another wild WNBA season is unfolding.
