Brink injured, Plum held to nine points in Sparks’ loss to Valkyries

Shooting struggles against Golden State’s perimeter defense hamper L.A. in defeat.

Any of the good vibes the Sparks generated from their three-game win streak dissipated Monday.
In their 78-58 defeat, the Sparks’ worst weaknesses were exposed: continued struggles on defense and a punchless offensive scheme with Kelsey Plum struggling to score. Their 58 points were the fewest they have scored all season and they shot a second-worst 33.3% from the floor.
It was the fewest points scored by the Sparks since they were held to 57 by the Connecticut Sun on Sept. 9, 2021.
“We weren't very good,” Sparks coach Lynne Roberts said.
The Sparks (7-7) were coming off victories against Portland and at Seattle and Phoenix but had no answers for the Valkyries’ smothering defense. They were notably unhappy with their effort.
“They played harder,” Roberts said of the Valkyries.
