The road trip out West has not been kind to the Sun. One night after losing a close game to the Mercury, the Sun fizzled in the fourth quarter and the Sparks won by 12.
The Sun built a nine point lead in the first quarter, but the Sparks slowly chipped away behind Lisa Leslie's 20 first half points. L.A. extended a two point lead at the end of the third quarter with a 8-0 run to start the last quarter and the Sun never recovered. Leslie matched her career high with 32 points and a healthy Christi Thomas added 16 points and 11 rebounds.
Like their loss on Friday, the Sun allowed their opponent a higher FG percentage and more rebounds.
