It will be a while before the defending champion Los Angeles Sparks can avenge Thursday’s 88-77 loss to arch-rival Minnesota.
After all, the next time the two teams meet will be when the Lynx host the Sparks on Aug. 11.
Until then, the Sparks (12-4) have some work to do and it all starts Saturday on the road against the Seattle Storm.
The Storm (7-9) have won just three of 11 games after dropping a 79-70 decision on Thursday to New York at Key Arena. Seattle led throughout most of the first half, but poor shooting and fouls doomed the Storm.
