Los Angeles Aims to End Its Slide
Los Angeles enters Wednesday's matchup with an 8-11 overall record and a 3-7 mark at home. The Sparks have dropped three straight games, recently losing to Seattle 82-64, Indiana 111-87, and Toronto 125-97. Before that stretch, Los Angeles earned a 98-97 victory over New York before falling to Minnesota 99-83. The recent results illustrate a team searching for consistency after several difficult outings.
As a team, the Sparks are averaging 87.5 points per game while allowing 93.6 points per game. Los Angeles is shooting 45% from the field and averages 30.8 rebounds, 20.2 assists, 3.1 blocks, and 7.3 steals per game. The offensive numbers remain respectable, but the defensive average has made it difficult to keep pace over the course of the season.
The largest concern for Los Angeles is the defensive side of the floor. Allowing 93.6 points per game is the highest defensive average between these teams, and the Sparks have surrendered 111 and 125 points in two of their last three contests. That trend matches up against an Indiana offense that is averaging 93.5 points per game this season.
