The Sparks produced a memorable 2025 season, breaking many records collectively and individually. Under first-year WNBA head coach Lynne Roberts, in their 29th year of existence, the Sparks posted their highest Offensive Rating in a season. Los Angeles’ potent offense finished second in Points Per Game (85.7) and Field-Goal Percentage (45.7), and its 41.5 Paint Points Per Game mark the fifth-most ever by a WNBA team. The Sparks also led the league in PACE, unsurprising given Roberts’ up-tempo offensive system.

The team’s improvement, both from last season and throughout this year, was unmistakable. The Sparks increased their win total from last season by 13, the second-highest jump in the league, narrowly trailing the Dream’s +15-win leap from 2024. Contending with injuries in the beginning of the season, Los Angeles found its groove, becoming the hottest team in the league. Since July 13, the Sparks went 15-9, winning nearly 63 percent of those games.

The Sparks scored 100+ points in three straight games, becoming only the third team in history to do so. Los Angeles also scored 100 or more in five of six contests, the first squad ever to accomplish the feat. During its five-game winning streak, the team scored 90+ in each match, the longest such streak in franchise history. The Sparks also shot 50% or higher from the field in four straight tilts for the sixth time in franchise history and the 21st time in league annals.

Los Angeles was the only team this season to have three players in the Top 15 in Efficiency Per Game (Plum, Hamby and Azurá Stevens). Kelsey Plum set single-season franchise records for points, assists, made three-pointers and made free throws, also tying the league record for most games of at least 20 points and five assists with 18. Dearica Hamby set the single-season franchise record for made field goals and offensive rebounds, also posting the most Win Shares by a Spark since 2017. Hamby’s field-goal percentage is the fourth-highest by a Spark in a single season. Plum and Hamby finished as the second-highest-scoring duo in the league this season, while Hamby and Stevens were the second-highest-rebounding duo.

The Sparks finished tied for the fourth-best road record in the league, winning 12 games away from Los Angeles, including eight road wins against playoff teams. The Sparks won in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Brooklyn, Indianapolis twice, Seattle twice and San Francisco. Rickea Jackson’s buzzer-beater against the Liberty, and the Sparks’ double-overtime triumph in Seattle highlight the team’s penchant for clutch performance.  In games decided by three or fewer points this season, L.A.’s composure was on display, going 8-2. Julie Allemand became the fifth Spark ever to record a triple-double, and she led the league in Assist-to-Turnover Ratio.
