See Ace-Ace's thread for my write-up.

Good luck Sparks. These ladies have something to prove and they are playing their first game at home against a poor team.

ql, I am no expert on wnba, but can you comment on my observation?

I have seen the sparks excel in the 2nd half but come out slow 1st half.

what do you think

Good point Holysmoke. My viewpoint is that they had previously spend the first half getting used to Coach Bibby and their new teammates. I am thinking this game will be different since they will be more motivated to come out strong to put in a good showing.

Is this their first home game of the season?

I wonder if the sparks will kick ass second half, that has been there MO

I didn't get the 2nd half line.

The first half was poorly played by both teams. Lots of missed shots for SA and lots of fouls and turnovers for LA. Leslie missed a basket with 8 points that would have won this for me but this is a loser at LA 29 - SA 25.
