The Los Angeles Sparks secured a 91-78 victory over the Chicago Sky on Sunday afternoon at Crypto.com Arena, marking the Sky's third consecutive loss to start the 2025 WNBA season. The Sparks, aiming to rebound from a 1-3 start, showcased a dominant performance led by Kelsey Plum's 28 points and Azura Stevens' 24 points. Angel Reese led the Sky with 13 points and 12 rebounds, but her efforts weren't enough to halt the team's early-season skid.

The game was marked by intense moments, including a notable play where Plum executed a skillful blow-by layup over Reese and followed it up with a "too-small" gesture directed at her.

Acquired in the offseason from the Las Vegas Aces, Plum's performance this season has been stellar, averaging 24.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game. Her leadership and scoring prowess have been instrumental in the Sparks' efforts to establish themselves as contenders.

Following the game, Plum took to Instagram, posting a carousel of photos from the game with a three-word caption that summarizes her approach to this season.

"On a Mission," she wrote.

On the other side, the Sky's struggles continue following losses to the Indiana Fever and New York Liberty. The team has faced challenges on offense and defense, leading to their 0-3 start.

The Sparks will aim to build on this victory as they prepare for their next game against the Atlanta Dream, while the Sky will seek to regroup and secure their first win of the season when they visit the Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday.
