Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, June 22, 2006

Chamique Holdsclaw had her best game since returning to the Sparks line up and L.A. used a big third quarter to roll past the Comets. It was the sixth win in a row for the Sparks.

Holdsclaw scored 20 points in nearly 30 minutes off the bench and followed her coach's instruction to just do her thing. Holdsclaw and Mwadi Mabika provided the scoring punch for L.A. while Lisa Leslie was on the bench in the first half with foul trouble.

The Sparks held the Comets to 10 points in the third quarter and 35% from the floor for the game. They also forced 23 turnovers, a season high for the Comets.

While Joe Bryant said his team is like putting a puzzle together with everyone contributing, Van Chancellor declared the Sparks the best team in the league right now.
