Dallas erases all of the Sparks’ 16-point lead in the fourth quarter, pulling ahead by three before Sykes (25 points, six assists) guides the hosts to a 93-91 win.
LOS ANGELES — The Sparks emerged from their 10-game gauntlet to start the season weathered, battle-tested and up for the challenge.
Sykes scored 25 points – her high as a member of the Sparks – on 8-for-11 shooting. She added six assists and a couple of steals. Those two dates in L.A. represented the fewest home games in the league through the first 10 games, which came especially fast and furiously for Coach Derek Fisher’s overhauled squad: The Sparks got to 10 games faster than any other WNBA team besides Indiana – which played six home games in that span.
So, yes, it’s been a challenge for the Sparks, who were 4-6 entering Tuesday’s game against a Dallas Wings team that not only swept their three meetings with L.A. last season but delivered the regular-season loss that kept them out of the playoffs.
