Despite an optimistic start, the LA Sparks fell to the Minnesota Lynx 89-75. Although they started well, with players like Azurá Stevens and Kelsey Plum contributing significantly, they struggled to maintain their momentum. The first half was competitive, but in the second half, the Lynx's defense dominated, limiting the Sparks to just 30 points. The Sparks also faced challenges converting open opportunities, notably from beyond the arc. Coach Lynne Roberts acknowledged their struggles, particularly with chemistry and missed shots, indicating areas for improvement moving forward.
"Minnesota amped up their pressure, and we were a little bit disjointed and kind of got away from playing the way we want to play."
"We missed a lot of good shots too, though, right? So it's not always, how many points did we score, but how many good shots did we take?..."
