Lynx-Sparks Preview

Maya Moore's first WNBA game is being greeted with the same level of anticipation as Candace Parker's three years ago, so it seems only fitting that the two face off to open the league's 2011 season.

Parker's Los Angeles Sparks and Moore's Minnesota Lynx meet at the Staples Center on Friday night in a battle between two of the WNBA's most high-profile No. 1 picks.

While Parker has struggled to stay on the court after being selected No. 1 overall by Los Angeles in 2008, her entrance into the league came on the heels of one of the most successful runs in women's college basketball history with Tennessee, where she won two NCAA women's titles.

Moore might have surpassed Parker's imprint on the game. She was a four-time All-American at Connecticut and finished as the school's all-time leading scorer with 3,036 points. Like Parker, she won two national championships in college and also was the only collegian to play on the U.S. national team that won a gold medal at the world championships in October.

Shortly after being selected by Minnesota, Moore became the first female basketball player to sign an endorsement deal with the Jordan Brand, a division of Nike Inc.

"Every year the first pick has a chance to make a difference," Lynx vice president Roger Griffith said. "Every once in awhile, that first pick is above the ordinary No. 1 pick and this is one of those years."

Moore has a high standard to match in her WNBA debut - Parker set the league record with 34 points in her first game. She then went on to become the first player to win rookie of the year and MVP honors in the same season.

The last two years have been uneven for Parker, who missed part of 2009 following the birth of her daughter and was limited to 10 games last year after separating her shoulder in a win over Minnesota on June 13.

Los Angeles was 3-7 when she went down last year but reached the playoffs with a 13-21 record - edging out the Lynx in a tiebreaker by sweeping the season series - before losing to Seattle in the conference semifinals.

"I am healthy and excited to play this year," she told the Sparks' official website. "Mentally I am ready to get back on the floor and try to help this team win and, hopefully, hang a banner some time in the near future."

Parker and Jantell Lavender, the fifth overall pick in this year's draft, bring youth to a team still heavily reliant on veterans. Los Angeles has three players on its roster with more than 10 years of experience and added free agent Ebony Hoffman, who spent the last seven years with Indiana.

While keeping Parker healthy will be key to Los Angeles' success, Moore is tasked with helping Minnesota return to the playoffs for the first time in seven years. The Lynx went 13-21 last year, partially due to offseason injuries to vital players.

Candace Wiggins played only eight games before suffering a season-ending Achilles' injury while Seimone Augustus, limited to six games in 2009, played 25 last year and averaged a career-low 16.9 points.

With Augustus and Wiggins expected to contribute and the arrival of Moore, the franchise is energized.

"We have an air of confidence about us and I think we know how talented we are," coach Cheryl Reeve said.

Lynx 74, Sparks 82

Posted Jun 04 2011 2:04AM

LOS ANGELES (AP) Candace Parker had 19 points and 10 rebounds as the Los Angeles Sparks beat the Minnesota Lynx 82-74 on Friday night in the opener of the WNBA's 15th season.

Parker, who hadn't played a WNBA game since last June 13 when she dislocated her left shoulder, made 6 of 9 field goals and scored 13 points in the first half.

The Sparks made 7 of 14 3-pointers in the second half and never trailed in the fourth quarter.

Highly touted WNBA rookie Maya Moore led the Lynx with 21 points and added four rebounds and four assists.

The Sparks trailed by as many as 10 in the third quarter, but made 5 of 10 3-pointers in the period including three by Noelle Quinn to regain the lead.
