Nneka Ogwumike (30), Canada (20) and Azurá Stevens (15) combine for 65 points and Canada’s basket with 3.2 seconds left is the difference in a 79-78 victory over Indiana.
LOS ANGELES — Effort and execution. Grit and determination. All of it gave the Sparks an opportunity to win with 11.1 seconds left in their game against the Indiana Fever on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena.
All-Star forward Nneka Ogwumike scored a season-high 30 points, Canada had 20 and forward Azurá Stevens contributed 15 as the trio combined for 65 points and actually outscored Indiana 39-38 in the first half to help give the Sparks a 47-38 advantage at the intermission. Indiana worked the clock on its next possession, but Vivians was off on a long 3-point attempt at the end of the shot clock, setting the stage for Canada’s big basket. After Canada made her contested 3-pointer, Indiana’s Mitchell had a good look from the top of the 3-point arc but it didn’t hit the rim.
Ogwumike started strong and the Sparks used an 11-3 run to open a 31-25 lead with 7:16 remaining in the second period. The Sparks used a 14-7 surge, capped by Canada’s buzzer-beating layup for their 47-38 halftime lead.
