The Sparks get contributions from up and down the lineup in a 99-94 victory after Phoenix cut their 12-point lead to three points with one minute left.
LOS ANGELES — Finally, the Sparks had some fun.
Katie Lou Samuelson – who scored a career-high 17 points and knocked down a career-best four 3-pointers on five attempts in her first start as a Spark – stayed in front of Skylar Diggins-Smith on a drive with 32 seconds left. She blocked the Phoenix guard’s layup and corralled the rebound to help the Sparks preserve the precarious three-point lead.
“To see Slim hustle that hard and chase it down, normally – nine times out of 10 – she blocks that,” Carter said. “So for me to keep running and turn it into something beautiful, it was amazing to see it happen. It’s good basketball.”Carter – aka “Hollywood” – put on a show on the offensive end too, with 12 points on 6-for-9 shooting in 17 minutes.
“Look at us tonight, we stayed calm, we executed … and we really found our chemistry tonight. Lou was cooking on the outside, Nneka was going hard on the inside, and we was just taking what was there.”
