Sparks beat Caitlin Clark and Fever for second win of season

LA Times  

Sparks guard Kia Nurse tries to block a layup by Fever guard Caitlin Clark during the first half Tuesday night. On Tuesday night, against the WNBA’s only other one-win team, the Indiana Fever rookie strung together her most complete game yet by scoring a season-best 30 points, dishing out six assists and grabbing five rebounds in her most complete performance yet despite losing 88-82 to the Sparks. “Tonight she was able to get to the foul line a lot, which supplemented her offense, but I thought we did a pretty good job,” Sparks coach Curt Miller said after facing Clark for the second time in four days. She also made the home fans wince with three first-half turnovers and when a frustrated Clark’ drew a technical foul with 2.7 seconds left in the first quarter, coach Christie Sides even pulled her star rookie toward the free-throw line for a discussion between quarters.
