Overview
- Nneka Ogwumike broke Lisa Leslie's franchise record early in the first quarter on July 17 with a driving pull-up jumper that gave her the lead on the Sparks' scoring list.
- Ogwumike finished the game with a double-double of 18 points and 12 rebounds and now has 6,281 points for the Sparks and 7,703 career WNBA points.
- The Chicago Sky won 96-82 as undrafted rookie Sydney Taylor scored 19 points with four 3-pointers and Chicago got balanced scoring from Kamilla Cardoso, Natasha Cloud and Jacy Sheldon.
- Los Angeles committed high turnovers, was outscored by the bench and has suffered injury absences that helped push the team to a three-game skid and an 0-3 start to the current road trip.
- The milestone cements Ogwumike's place among the Sparks' greats and shifts attention to how the team turns the moment into wins, starting with a road game at Dallas on Sunday.
