Nneka Ogwumike led the Sparks with 19 points and 15 rebounds, but the Connecticut Sun surged in the fourth quarter of an 83-74 win.
Coaching against his former team, the Connecticut Sun, for the first time since taking over in L.A., the Sparks head coach could see the franchise he helped revitalize carry on his legacy or he could lead his new team to its best win of his short tenure.
“We hate losing and not protecting our home court,” Miller said, “but I think we’re proving ourselves despite the adversity, despite numerous players that are rotational players for us that are out. We can play with these teams. We can play with the top teams in the league.” Now onto a new project, Miller called Connecticut’s sustained success “the blueprint” for what he wants to accomplish with the Sparks.
Without starting guard Lexie Brown for the second consecutive game, the Sparks finished the first half on a 13-5 run to take a five-point lead into the locker room. The Sun tied the score entering the fourth with a late mid-range jumper from Bonner, who scored 15 points in the second half. Bonner hit a critical free throw that put the Sun ahead by five with 1:27 remaining in the fourth after Miller was given a technical foul.
