Up next for Sparks: Saturday vs. Seattle
Sparks tonight
VS. SEATTLE
When: 2 p.m.
Where: Staples Center.
On the air: ESPN 2.
Records: Sparks 4-11, Storm 14-2.
Record vs. Storm: 0-3.
Update: The Sparks are fresh off their best team performance and first win since losing forward Candace Parker. Seattle, which leads the Western Conference by eight games, has won its last five. Though the Storm twice blew out the Sparks in Seattle this year, the result was much closer when the team visited Los Angeles — in an outdoor game played at the Home Depot Center Tennis Stadium in Carson — with the Sparks falling, 79-75.
