SPARKS TONIGHT

at Minnesota, 5 PDT, Fox Sports Net

Site -- Target Center.

Radio -- KPLS (830).

Records -- Sparks 2-0, Lynx 1-0.

Record vs. Lynx (2002) -- 3-0.

Update -- Minnesota has lost 12 consecutive games to the Sparks, dating to July 1, 1999. But the Sparks will be travel weary, coming to Minneapolis after Tuesday’s victory in Cleveland, while the Lynx has been off since upsetting Sacramento last Saturday. Relentless scorer Katie Smith is always a challenge for the Spark defense. Minnesota’s only win in the series came in the teams’ first meeting, an 86-73 decision on June 24, 1999.
