Sparks win OT thriller against the Sky

The Sparks won an overtime thriller against the Chicago Sky, sweeping the two-game set in Chicago to even their record at 2-2. The Sparks started slow, but played better as the game went on, getting good performances from Nneka Ogumike and Amanda Zauhi B in regulation, defensive stops from Brittney Sykes, and the game-clinching layup from Erica Wheeler.

The first quarter was tough for the Sparks, as they ended the quarter down 27-13 and were down by as many as 17. They were able to recuperate from that with a dominant second quarter, holding the Sky to a mere 10 points.
