Tuesday the Lynx snapped the Sparks' winning streak at home, and tonight Los Angeles returned the favor, handing Minnesota their first loss of the season, 94-76.
Video.
Thoughts:
- The Lynx looked really tired at the end of the game.
- I haven't seen the Sparks look this good since the 2006 season.
- Over 13,000 fans at Target Center! Alright, Minnesota!!
- I hope both teams stay healthy, because this is fun!
- Next match up between these two is Sept. 6, in LA.
- WOO!
- The officiating sucked big time, though.

So Lindsay Whalen bangsher chest, after NOT getting fouled (but getting the call) yells "my house" in a couple Sparks,players face..... Then they go into a skid, and the Sparks run off another 15 points on them. Hmmmm!?!?!!?!! Thanks for the motivation...... Sparks were like, "We got your house!"
Nice win by LA. Didn't quit, didn't get shaken and handled their business.
:)
That was kind of odd, as the entire crowd was behind Whalen on that one.....and then, nothing.
Sparks were incredibly poised despite the noise level and the horrendous officiating. I am impressed. Truly impressed.
It's been a long, long time that as a Sparks fan I've allowed myself to feel this happy and hopeful after a win. Rather than looking ahead at what might be though, I've made myself focus on the here and now and enjoy each celebratory moment and win as they come. It's been too good a season thus far not to just sit back and enjoy it as it unfolds. Thanks again for all you do, Sue! #GoSparks
Yes, LA beat the Lynx in their house in front of a packed house. I called that focused! I think the Lynx will have real competition this year in the west. Seattle is starting their rise. Phoenix, I'm still concerned!
