Chip, I’m trying to work.

The Sky are going to win this, 95-88. Sparks have now lost 7 of their last 8 games. They go down to 11-18. Three players each had 15 for the Sky (Cloud, Cardoso, Sheldon). Dearica Hamby led the Sparks with 22 points and 14 boards. Sparks will play the Lynx tomorrow night.

Courtney Vandersloot made a three. Dearica misses a couple of free throws. Kamilla Cardoso makes her free throws. Sparks now down, 91-78, with 2:25 left. Rough.

Sparks have cut it to 86-78. 3:13 left in the game.

Sky up, 83-72, with 4:31 left. This one will be tough to come back from.

Sheldon puts the Sky up, 81-72. Ariel Atkins is down.

Sparks just have the most untimely turnovers.

GAME TIED AT NINTENDO SIXTY-FOOOOUUUURRRR!!!!

It's been happening since college.

Cameron got hit in the jaw area. She was able to get up after being down in a bit.

The Sparks have taken the lead into the fourth, 62-61. Dearica Hamby has a double-double with 16 points and 11 boards. Jacy Sheldon still at 12 but still leads Chicago in scoring.

Dearica Hamby now at 16 and 11.

Tash and Kamilla have turned it around for the Sky. Seven in a row for them and they now have a 57-51 advantage.

The Sparks lead for the first time since Magellan's crew went around the world.

10-2 overall run by the Sparks. Sky now only up, 50-48.

Sparks have scored six in a row. Deficit down to 48-44.

The start to this third is gross.

Sky 48, Sparks 38 at the half. Jacy Sheldon has 12 for Chicago. Dearica Hamby has 10 for L.A. Sky shooting 50 percent while Sparks are at just under 42.

Sky 44, Sparks 31 with 3:25 left in the half. Always climbing hills.

Cameron Brink has three blocks and three fouls.

Fantastic block by Tash on Rae's three. She got it back then the ball was poked by Cardoso. It looked like it went off Rae though it was called Sparks ball. Sky challenge. It should be overturned.

Tash Cloud is back on the floor.

Park with the three to cut the deficit to 33-26. aZn PrYYYYYYYYYYYYYdEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!1

Tash Cloud is walking back to the locker room. Hope she’s okay.

33-19, Sky, after one. Kamilla Cardoso and Aicha Coulibaly each have 8 for Chicago. Rae Burrell has 6 for L.A.

Back-to-back Rachel Banham threes put the Sky up, 28-18. That was an explosion.

Monique makes her first points as a Spark with that short jumper.
