A relentless defense and big performances off the bench led the Sparks to a 96-92 win over the Las Vegas Aces in a Commissioner's Cup game Sunday night at Crypto.com Arena. Dearica Hamby led the Sparks with 18 points, five assists and 10 rebounds for her ninth double-double of the season. Rookie Rickea Jackson had 16 points and five rebounds, and Aari McDonald finished with 16 points. Cameron Brink had a career-high five blocks along with eight points.
The Sparks got off to a fast start in the second quarter, with Brown shooting a three-pointer and Jackson making a two-point shot to give the Sparks their first lead. Las Vegas retook the lead, but a layup by Hamby with 17 seconds made it a one-point game at halftime.
