The former UCLA and Windward High star has 21 points, eight assists and two steals in her Sparks debut to propel them to a 98-91 victory over the defending WNBA champs.
L.A. native Jordin Canada lifted the Sparks to a victory in her debut with the team with 21 points, eight assists and two steals in a season-opening 98-91 overtime victory over the defending WNBA champion Chicago Sky on Friday night in Chicago.
The 5-foot-6 point guard stole the show Friday, including scoring eight of the Sparks’ 10 points in overtime – an extra period for which she gets the credit after she drew a foul on a 3-point attempt with 1.5 seconds left in regulation. With the game in the balance, the former Windward High and UCLA star made all three free throws without blinking to tie the score at 88-88.
Nneka Ogwumike propelled the Sparks early, scoring 15 of her 19 points before halftime, when the Sparks led 42-39 despite having fallen behind by 12-2 out of the gate.
