SPARKS TONIGHT

vs. San Antonio, 7:30, NBA TV

Site -- Staples Center.

Radio -- KWKU (1220).

Records -- Sparks 10-6, Silver Stars 5-11.

Record vs. Silver Stars (2003) -- 2-2.

Update -- The Sparks, 5-0 at home, have a way to go to match the 16-0 home record they had in the 2002 regular season. But they have an opportunity to turn Staples Center into a great comfort zone; seven of their 10 games this month are at home. The struggling Silver Stars are happy to see the month of June go away. They were 2-9 last month, including an eight-game losing streak. Center Margo Dydek is reportedly unhappy in San Antonio and would like a trade. There have been plenty of inquiries about the 7-foot-2 Dydek -- Washington, according to WNBA sources, has offered a package -- but the Silver Stars show no interest in moving her even though she will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.
