LOS ANGELES, June 18 (Ticker) -- On a night when Lisa Leslie was saddled with foul trouble, Mwadi Mabika came through.

Mabika scored 10 of her season-high 27 points in the fourth quarter and tied a league record with seven 3-pointers as the Los Angeles Sparks pulled away late to post their fifth straight win, an 80-69 triumph over the Sacramento Monarchs.
