AT CHICAGO

When: 5 PDT.

Where: UIC Pavilion, Chicago.

On the air: Webcast, wnba.com.

Record: Sparks 5-9, Sky 8-10.

Record vs. Sky (2008): 2-0.

Update: The Sparks ended a three-game losing streak with a win Wednesday against Minnesota, and must quickly retool against Chicago tonight. The Sparks are 3-0 all-time at the UIC Pavilion, averaging at least a 13-point margin of victory. But they have yet to put together a winning streak this season. The Sky has lost its last two games.
