Nneka Ogwumike leads Sparks over Liberty
LOS ANGELES — When it was time to step up on the day after her 32nd birthday, Sparks all-star forward Nneka Ogwumike scored 10 of her game-high 22 points in the third quarter, to lead the Los Angeles Sparks to an 84-74 win at home against the New York Liberty.
Afterward, the roles were reversed. The Sparks improved to 9-11 and the Liberty dropped to 8-12, giving the Sparks control of the league’s seventh playoff spot with six weeks to go before the end of the regular season. “Lexie is an all-around player, who is going to have to play solid defense and a lot of minutes,” Williams said. “She stepped up to the challenge and with her outside shooting and her decision-making was great.
“At halftime, I told them to bear down defensively. Let’s overload one side and make them skip pass a great deal against our defense,” Williams shared.
