Parker powers Sparks past Shock 94-78 in WNBA
Updated on

Summary The win was the first on the road this season for Los Angeles.


TULSA (AP) - Candace Parker scored a season-high 30 points and Kristi Toliver added 25 as the Los Angeles Sparks won their fourth consecutive game with a 94-78 defeat of the Tulsa Shock on Thursday night.

 

The win was the first on the road this season for Los Angeles, which had dropped its first four games away from home.

 

Tulsa dropped its fifth straight game and saw its modest two-game home court winning streak ended. Rookie Skylar Diggins paced the Shock with 19 points, including 11 in the first half.

 

At Indianapolis, Lindsay Whalen had 23 points and Monica Wright added 22 points and nine rebounds as the Minnesota Lynx beat the Indiana Fever 69-62 in a rematch of last season's WNBA finals.

 

The Fever made runs at the Lynx, but never managed to catch them. Wright and Whalen had plenty to do with that. The backcourt duo scored many of their points in transition off Indiana's 16 turnovers.

 

Indiana was playing without star guard Katie Douglas, who missed her 10th consecutive game with a bulging disk in her back.
