Just over a month ago, on May 25, the Los Angeles Sparks — boosted by a 28-point effort from Kelsey Plum — cruised to a 91-78 win over the Chicago Sky.

The Sky returned to Crypto.com Arena on Sunday and proceeded to flip the script, powering their way to a dominant 92-85 victory over the Sparks — and taking control of the 2025 season series, 2-1, against L.A. as a result.

Angel Reese in Sunday’s win:

24 PTS (season-high)

Angel Reese poured in a team-high 24 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists — her fourth consecutive double-double and sixth through Chicago's last seven games.

The Sparks raced out to a quick start prior to Candace Parker's No. 3 jersey retirement ceremony at halftime. Los Angeles led Chicago, 18-17, after the first quarter, with nearly half of its points coming off fast break looks.

Candace Parker’s No. 3 jersey was officially retired in the LA rafters on Sunday.

Plum and Azurá Stevens combined for 14 points in the opening frame alone.

Stevens finished with 17 points on 6-for-11 shooting, joining Plum (22 points, seven assists), Dearica Hamby (20 points, 10 rebounds) and Emma Cannon (15 points) as the four Sparks in double figures.

The 6-foot-6 forward logged 21 points, four blocks and four steals for Los Angeles in last Tuesday's loss to Chicago — cementing her as the first player in WNBA history to post 20-plus points, four-plus blocks and four-plus steals in a single game while shooting over 70 percent from the field.
