Ogwumike (20 points) moves past Candace Parker (5,684) into second on the franchise’s all-time scoring list, but New York ends the game on a 10-2 run to prevail, 76-69.
LOS ANGELES — Nneka Ogwumike scored 20 points and passed Candace Parker for second place on the franchise’s all-time scoring list, but it wasn’t enough as the Sparks squandered a fourth-quarter lead in a 76-69 loss to the New York Liberty on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena.
Jordin Canada added 13 points and six assists, and Layshia Clarendon scored 11 points for the Sparks . Canada’s floating jump shot pulled the Sparks within 61-60 with 4:48 left, before a Clarendon 3-pointer tied the score at 63-all and an Ogwumike layup gave the hosts a 65-63 lead with 3:31 left. Midway through the second quarter, the 5-foot-6 Canada, the team’s defensive sparkplug, stood tall against 6-6 center Jones and forced a shot-clock violation.
