In search of its first pair of consecutive win this season, Los Angeles Sparks welcomed WNBA-Agni Minnesota Links for Thursday’s Matini.
Minnesota (17-3) played his second afternoon inclination in several days as Links started four-market swings as part of the league’s kids day ceremony in Phoenix on Wednesday. Mercury snatched the line winning the regular season of Minnesota in the 79–71 decision.
Thus Links is trying to avoid back-to-back loss in Los Angeles for the first time in this season, to chase the elusive back-to-back of flip side sparks.
Los Angeles (6–13) lost six out of seven matches before Indiana’s 89–87 defeat on Saturday.
“This is the increase,” Azura Stevens said in his 21-point, 12-ribound double-dobbal. “I am proud to not disintegrate the team.”
Stevens have been a bright place for Los Angeles. On Saturday, the fifth double-dobe of the campaign was marked and scored in double figures in seven direct outings.
The internal appearance of Stevens should play a role against a rival that has disturbed Los Angeles this season. A pair of losses in Minnesota in 1-6 telpin of sparks were involved in loss-101-78 on June 10 and 82-66 on 21 June.
Minnesota also won his previous visit to Los Angeles, 89–75 on 18 May.
Nephesa Kolier, who leads 23.9 points per game WNBA, scored 23 points in the first encounter. He did 32 points on 14 June with 32 points, eight rebounds and six assistance.
Kolier missed the date of June 21, but Kayla McBrid picked up Slack with 29 points. On Wednesday, McBrid will bounce back on Thursday after scoring just six points in the loss in Phoenix.
On Wednesday, 18 points of colir, meanwhile, scored five-game runs of scoring 21 points or more.
Minnesota ranks third in WNBA 84.4 points per game scoring, but scored only 64.7 points in its final three defeats – including the Commissioner Cup final to 1 July vs Indiana.
Los Angeles, however, allows 86.9 points per game-the second largest yield of the league. Minnesota is an average of 90.7 points per game in the last three meetings this season.
74.3 points per game of links top the league, reflecting the recent focus to the outfit.
Coach Cheryl Reev told Stephen Pregon-Garner of PHNX Sports, “In the previous season, we felt that we had to make a big change defensively, as we were constantly at the bottom of the league (in defensive figures).” “We had to better defend the 3-point line; it was a big miss … we have dramatically improved there.”
At 28.8 percent with the permission of the long range, Minnesota led the WNBA and the Reve’s squad placed the Sparks Sharpshooter Kelsey Plum beyond 1 out of 7, when the teams met for the last time.
