* Update--The Sparks seek to launch another winning streak tonight, against the team that was victim No. 3 in their recent 12-game winning streak, ended Tuesday by Portland, 80-77. Coach Michael Cooper hopes his team can stick close to or even gain on Houston during the most advantageous portion of the schedule. Six of the next seven Spark games are at home. Then comes the worst part: The last six are on the road. That trip opens at Houston on July 29.
