Sparks

Sparks hold on, 99-95. Quick thoughts: A great second-half by the Tempo and one they can really build on. Down 17 in the first half ultimately killed them. But they played hard until the buzzer and even had a chance to tie with under a minute left. Laura Juskaite is going to

Sandy Brondello said she liked the fight a lot but the oh, man, that start. Said Brondello: "Was it 21-2? That's pretty terrible. We did nothing that we talked about. ... I'm just mad the way we started. We didn't give ourselves a chance."

Tempo were down 21-2 to start the game and cut the lead at the half to 46-38. I don't expect them to win this game — the Sparks really need a win and they are home — but that's a nice response because they could have packed up the bus early. L.A. shooting 60% from the field.

Rough start for the @TempoBasketball so far. Sparks are running them out of the gym and TSN's coverage keeps going out. We're now getting the ION broadcast here in Toronto instead of the Canadian one.
