No surprise in L.A.: the Sparks beat down the Sting. Leslie had 26, including 10-13 on free throws, where she's had trouble of late.

Mwadi Mabika played 32 minutes and scored 11. It was her first game this year.

Mwadi explains: "I felt good in the beginning. Then I got tight a little and had to get some treatment. I felt much better in the second half....I'm glad this is not a back-to-back situation. I think it's going to take me a week or two to really get into my rhythm."
