Te'a Cooper added 15 points, Bria Holmes and Erica Wheeler had 14 each, and Nia Coffey had 13 for the Sparks (3-3), who shot 56.1 percent from the floor and 50 percent on 3-pointers. The Sparks won for the third time in four games despite being short-handed.
Nneka Ogwumike will miss 4-6 weeks because of a left knee sprain suffered in a loss at Dallas last Sunday and her sister, Chiney Ogwumike, missed her second consecutive game because of right knee soreness and is listed as week-to-week.
