(East Los Angeles, CA) May 15, 2022 [From The Editor’s Desk]: The Sparks early season start of game woes continued for the second consecutive game and unfortunately ended in their second “road” loss in a row. After impressively winning their first two at Chicago and Indiana, they’ve now lost to Atlanta and now this one to the Connecticut Sun, who were playing in front of their home fans for the first time this season.

With that said, Coach Fisher and his team can point to the fact that.. #1) they’ve only played a total of (4) games; #2) the team is making adjustments with each passing game, as Coach struggles to find a consistent 5th starting player; and #3) a quick and definitive change must be seen sooner, rather than later.
The Sparks record now goes to an even (2-2) and their sights are set on returning home to Los Angeles in preparation for their Tuesday, May 17th Home opener against the Minnesota Lynx, at Crypto.com Arena.
Let’s take a look at the brief game player and team notes and learn some more from them.
