The New York Liberty suffered a surprising 94-88 defeat to the last-place Los Angeles Sparks, ending their eight-game winning streak. Breanna Stewart led the Liberty with 32 points, but the Sparks' Dearica Hamby (21 points) and rookie Rickea Jackson (19 points) orchestrated a comeback that secured the win for Los Angeles. Despite starting strong, New York struggled with turnovers and defensive lapses, allowing the Sparks to erase a double-digit lead. The Liberty's latest loss leaves them just 2.5 games ahead of the Minnesota Lynx for the best record in the WNBA. Meanwhile, Nyara Sabally made a notable impact with a career-high 14 points and her first double-double. The Liberty will look to rebound in their upcoming game against the Seattle Storm.
