The Sparks recently recorded a 1-2 performance in the Commissioner's Cup, bringing their season record to 3-7. Key players Kelsey Plum and Dearica Hamby showcased their talents, with Plum scoring 24 points in a loss against the Valkyries after a disappointing showing against the Wings. Hamby proved consistent, scoring 20 points in both games, but the Sparks struggled with rebounding. Coach Lynne Roberts emphasized the importance of Plum's self-advocacy regarding officiating, adding context to the team's performance pressures.
"Plum struggled against Dallas but excelled against the Valkyries, totaling 34.7 minutes of play with 17.5 points and 8 assists over the week, though her performance was inconsistent."
"Hamby delivered strong back-to-back performances with 20 points in both games, but improvement in rebounding could enhance the Sparks' chances in tight matchups."
