The Los Angeles Sparks W edged the Seattle Storm W 88-83 in a competitive NBA W matchup, closing out a five-point victory behind balanced scoring and a strong effort on the glass. Los Angeles generated enough offense late to hold off Seattle, with the final margin reflecting a game that remained within reach for both sides down the stretch. N. Ogwumike led the Sparks with 24 points, providing the most consistent scoring presence in the game. K. Plum added 19 points, while C. Brink contributed 15 points to give Los Angeles multiple reliable options. The Sparks also held a 38-35 rebounding advantage and finished with 20 assists, helping them maintain offensive rhythm despite shooting 9-for-35 from 3-point range. Seattle was led by N. Hiedeman, who scored 16 points, while Malonga Dominique added 15 points. The Storm recorded 26 assists, showing strong ball movement, and shot efficiently inside the arc based on their 21-for-35 field-goal mark. However, Seattle’s 9-for-29 performance from 3-point range and the slight rebounding deficit made it difficult to fully overcome Los Angeles in the closing stages. Going forward, the Sparks can take confidence from winning a tight game with contributions from several key players and a narrow edge in rebounding. For the Storm, the loss highlights positives in offensive execution and passing, but also points to the need for sharper perimeter shooting and late-game stops in close contests.
