PASADENA — The Sparks were winners in their second preseason game, defeating the WNBA champion Seattle Storm 92-85 on Friday night at Pasadena City College.
The Sparks put the pedal down in the third quarter, playing suffocating defense and wiping away a five-point deficit by outscoring the Storm 29-10. Nneka Ogwumike scored 10 of her team-high 18 points in the third, including a pair on an open jumper that came as the result of a behind-the-back pass from sister Chiney Ogwumike in transit
