Mystics-Sparks Preview

Saddled by the worst start in franchise history, the Los Angeles Sparks hope playing at home for the first time this year will finally get them in the win column.

The Sparks open their Staples Center schedule Friday night against the Washington Mystics, who are trying to avoid their third straight loss after a hot start.

Los Angeles (0-3), which is the last team to play a home opener, wrapped up their season-opening swing with an 88-81 loss to San Antonio on Saturday.

Down 13 early in the second half, the Sparks took a 65-64 lead with 7:46 remaining on a driving layup by Candace Parker, but failed to close out the Silver Stars in former Sparks star Chamique Holdsclaw's debut.

"I think we took a minute to wake up, and that was tough for us," said Parker, who had 12 points and 10 rebounds. "I feel that we needed to play aggressive from the start, and we waited awhile to execute. They executed down the stretch and we didn't. That's been the story of our last three games."

DeLisha Milton-Jones led Los Angeles with 20 points.

A return home could bode well for the Sparks. In 2009, Los Angeles won its first three games there, and finished 11-6.

To get off to another good start at home, the Sparks will need more from Parker. The third-year star is averaging 15.3 points, but has scored 22 in the last two games combined while shooting 35.7 percent.

Washington (3-2), which opened with three consecutive wins, is coming off an 82-76 loss to Seattle on Tuesday. The Mystics had a 10-point lead late in the third quarter before the Storm went on a 31-10 run.

Coach Julie Plank's club was outscored 36-25 in the fourth.

"We gave up like four or five wide open threes in the fourth quarter that really got the crowd in the game and brought them back," she said. "Thirty-six points in the quarter - that's not going to do it."

The Mystics have allowed 81.0 points per game in their losses, up from the 67.3 allowed during the winning streak.

Monique Currie led Washington with 24 points, and is among the WNBA's top scorers at 19.2 points per game.

Los Angeles and Washington split two meetings last season. Parker had 15 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in a 72-69 victory on Aug. 18 at Staples.

Sparks beat Mystics 81-75 for first win of season

LOS ANGELES(AP) Candace Parker had a season-high 30 points and 10 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Sparks defeated the Washington Mystics 81-75 Friday night for their first win of the season in their home opener.

Parker went over the 1,000-point career mark four games into her third WNBA season and now has 1,114. She recorded her fourth double-double in as many games.

Tina Thompson added 15 points for the Sparks (1-3), who had dropped their first three games under new coach Jennifer Gillom for their worst start in franchise history. DeLisha Milton-Jones added 14 points.

The Sparks are playing their first season since Lisa Leslie retired. She was at the game doing TV commentary.

Katie Smith scored 15 points for the Mystics, who lost their third in a row after opening with five straight wins. Monique Currie and Crystal Langhorne added 13 each.

The Sparks watched an 11-point lead dwindle to four points five times in the fourth quarter. Kristi Toliver missed two free throws with the Sparks leading 77-73 with 39 seconds left.

Smith missed a driving layup with 11 seconds to go, and Currie fouled Parker, who made both for a 79-73 lead. Currie scored and after a timeout, and the Mystics were forced to foul Parker in the backcourt. She made both to close out the scoring.

The Mystics cut a 14-point halftime deficit to three points with a 13-2 run to open the third quarter, when they outscored the Sparks. Smith and Langhorne scored four points each.

The Sparks answered with a 20-13 spurt to repel the threat and take a 66-56 lead into the fourth quarter. Toliver had seven points, including a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to end the period, Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton added six and Parker five in the run.
