NEXT GAME
Los Angeles at Minnesota - Sunday, July 16, at Target Center (5:00 p.m.)
When the Lynx return from the All-Star break refreshed and rejuvenated, they will have their hands full with a Sparks team that currently stands atop the Western Conference. The last time the teams met, the Lynx scored a WNBA-record 114 points in their route of Los Angeles. The Sparks, now armed with star forward Chamique Holdsclaw (15.3 ppg, 6.7 rpg), will be hungry to erase the memory of the loss with a road victory. The Sparks are led by Lisa Leslie who is averaging 20.1 ppg and 9.4 rpg. Minnesota has won its last three at home against the Sparks but trails in the all time series 5-20.
