Lisa Leslie threw her own "this ain't the way I wanna go out" party last night as she posted a 21 point/11 rebound performance and powered the Sparks to a 75-63 win over the Fever.

Oh, and LLL hit a bit of a milestone:

Running up and down the court, Sparks center Lisa Leslie couldn't understand why her husband, Michael Lockwood, showed six fingers from his courtside seat.

It meant she was on the verge of surpassing 6,000 career points during her 13 seasons with the WNBA. Instead of taking time to connect the dots, however, Leslie turned around and released a 12-foot jumper as the shot clock expired with 11.9 seconds left in the second quarter. Then she realized that wasn't just a jump shot that gave the Sparks a 37-20 lead.

"I had no idea," she said following the Sparks' 75-63 victory over the Indiana Fever. "That’s a good thing or else I probably wouldn’t have made the basket."
