TONIGHT

Share

* Site: Great Western Forum.

* Radio: KLAC (570 AM).

* Records: Sparks 2-7, Sting 8-2.

* Update: Spark President Johnnie Buss, disappointed over his team’s five-game losing streak, has said no player or coaching changes are contemplated now but did not rule out changes later. “If [the losing streak] goes on for seven [or so] more games, then, yes, without question, there would be changes,” he said. The Sparks haven’t won since beating New York June 19. Two Sparks will be lighter in the wallet tonight. Mwadi Mabika was fined $350 by the league for slapping Utah’s Margo Dydek on Thursday and Tamecka Dixon was fined an undisclosed sum by the Sparks for arriving late to the team’s Sunday practice. She had spent her two days off in New Jersey with her family, but her flight back was canceled, she said. Charlotte beat Los Angeles, 77-73, here two weeks ago. Tracy Reid is a major reason the Sting, a 15-13 team last summer, has a record second only to Houston’s. Reid, the North Carolina rookie, has averaged 13.6 points, freeing more opportunities for veterans Andrea Stinson (15.8) and Vicky Bullett (13.7). The Sparks play Sacramento here Wednesday night.
