Azura Stevens Leads Sparks Past Wings to Snap Three-Game Losing Streak

News summary

The Los Angeles Sparks ended a three-game losing streak with a 93-79 victory over the Dallas Wings, led by Azura Stevens' 21 points, including a career-high five three-pointers, and Dearica Hamby's 20 points. Odyssey Sims contributed 19 points, helping the Sparks take control with strong third and fourth quarters, while Kelsey Plum added 11 points and nine assists. Despite the win, the team has faced challenges this season, with key players adjusting their chemistry, particularly in pick-and-roll plays involving Plum and Hamby, which coach Lynne Roberts believes will improve offensive efficiency. Stevens has emerged as a critical player, increasing her shot attempts and efficiency significantly compared to last season, while also enhancing her defensive contributions with 1.6 steals per game. The Dallas Wings, struggling with a four-game losing streak, have allowed 90-plus points in three of those games, highlighting defensive issues. Overall, the Sparks' blend of veteran leadership and rising stars like Stevens is key to their potential success this season.
