Sparks' frontcourt goes on a scoring spree in victory over Connecticut Sun
Briefly

The Sparks achieved a significant 92-88 victory over the Sun, characterized by their dynamic offensive play and strategic teamwork. Rickea Jackson and Dearica Hamby were key players, demonstrating strength in the paint, aided by Azurá Stevens' versatility. The Sparks’ backcourt recorded 22 assists, emphasizing their collaborative effort. Despite a late challenge from the Sun, with players like Bria Hartley and Saniya Rivers pushing back, the Sparks maintained the lead. Stevens' free throws in the final moments ultimately secured their win in a tightly contested game.
Rickea Jackson, with her wiry strength and burst, knifed past defenders as Dearica Hamby mixed bruising post work with feather-soft finishes and Azurá Stevens - the most versatile of the bunch - filled every gap.
The Sparks' backcourt dished out 22 assists and maintained a high tempo, leading to a 92-88 victory over a struggling Sun team.
Clinging to a fragile five-point lead, Julie Allemand elevated what could've been the dagger with 48 seconds left - a shot that would've ballooned the lead to eight.
Coming out of a Connecticut timeout, Stevens rebounded a 26-foot heave from Hartley that clanged off the rim. Hartley fouled Stevens. True to her steady hand, Stevens buried both free throws to secure the win.
