The Los Angeles Sparks pulled off a gritty 88-82 win over the Washington Mystics, fueled by a fourth-quarter explosion from Rae Burrell and a clutch 13-2 run. Nneka Ogwumike led the charge with 24 points, while Cameron Brink added 13 points and two blocks off the bench. The Mystics, playing back-to-back games, struggled with 17 turnovers that turned into 31 Sparks points. Despite a halftime deficit, LA mounted a comeback in the third quarter, but it was their late-game surge — capped by Burrell’s three and Brink’s fast-break layup — that sealed the victory. Washington’s Sonia Citron scored 22, and Shakira Austin posted a double-double, but it wasn’t enough. The Mystics head to the FIBA World Cup break, while the Sparks return Sunday against Seattle.
