Plum scores 28 points, Dearica Hamby adds 20 and the Sparks held on for a 97-96 road win after Bueckers’ contested 3-point shot rolls off the rim as time expires.

Paige Bueckers commented on the "competitive fire" between Kelsey Plum and herself following Friday's Sparks-Wings game.

The Dallas Wings have played in two close games this week, and on Friday found themselves on the wrong side of a nailbiter. The Wings lost their 25th game of the season as the Los Angeles Sparks (16-17) claimed a 97-96 victory and an 0-2 series lead at College Park Center.
