Candace Parker looked like vintage CP3. That was more than enough for the Los Angeles Sparks Wednesday, as they beat the Indiana Fever 86-75. The Sparks built a double-digit lead early and held on late as the Fever made a spirited fourth-quarter charge against the L.A. backups.
The game began on a bit of a low note as the Sparks were without the services of rookie point guard Te’a Cooper, who had an inconclusive coronavirus test and has to stay in isolation until she produces two negative tests. Cooper missed a game last week for a non-COVID illness.
