Can the Sparks Keep Their Momentum Rolling?
Los Angeles enters this contest with a 10-11 overall record and has gone 5-4 on the road this season. The Sparks have shown signs of improvement lately by winning two of their last five games, including victories over Chicago and Indiana. Before those wins, they dropped three straight contests, falling to Seattle, Indiana, and Toronto. That recent stretch has produced both encouraging offensive performances and some difficult defensive outings.
The Sparks have been one of the league's highest-scoring teams, averaging 89.0 points per game. They shoot 46 percent from the field while averaging 31.1 rebounds and 21.0 assists per contest. Defensively, however, Los Angeles has allowed 93.2 points per game. The Sparks also average 3.0 blocks and 7.6 steals each time out.
The biggest strength for Los Angeles has clearly been its offensive production. Averaging 89.0 points per game and shooting 46 percent from the field gives the Sparks the ability to stay competitive against many opponents. The challenge has been slowing teams down consistently, as their points allowed average remains significantly higher than their offensive output.
