The Sparks defeated the Phoenix Mercury, 111-102, in an overtime thriller behind a legendary performance from Kelsey Plum. The four-time All-Star scored a career-high 43 points on 14-for-26 FG, 5-for-11 3PT and 10-for-12 FT. Plum also matched her most points in a quarter with 19 points in the fourth, as she scored the Sparks' last 17 points in the frame. This performance marks the fourth time in WNBA history a player has recorded at least 43 points and seven assists in a game. Plum is the second Spark ever to achieve this feat, joining Kristi Toliver, also matching Toliver for the most single-game points in franchise history. 

L.A. shot 44.1% from beyond the arc (15-for-34), marking just the fourth game in franchise history with at least 15 made three-pointers and the second time the team has accomplished the feat this season. The competitive game featured 14 lead changes and seven ties, including six ties and one lead change in the fourth quarter. The Sparks’ 33 bench points were a season high, and their 111 points marked the second-most scored in a regular-season game in franchise history. Los Angeles has now win three games in a row and improves to 5-1 on the road. 

Nneka Ogwumike recorded the 121st double-double of her career, finishing with 15 points (6-for-11 FG, 3-for-5 3PT) and 15 rebounds. The performance marked her sixth double-double of the season and the 12th game of her career with at least 15 points and 15 rebounds. Ogwumike also surpassed Tina Thompson for eighth on the Sparks' all-time three-pointers made list and matched a season high with three blocks, also leading the game with a +12 rating. 

Rae Burrell recorded 24 points on nine made field goals, both career highs (9-for-15 FG, 2-for-4 3PT, 4-for-4 FT). The wing also set a career high with three blocks, including a critical swat with the game tied and 33.3 seconds left in regulation. Erica Wheeler matched her season high with three steals, adding five assists. Cameron Brink contributed nine points and nine rebounds, making half of her four shot attempts, all three-pointers, and shooting a perfect 3-for-3 from the free-throw line.
