Sparks' Kelsey Plum Makes Statement Against Angel Reese

“You keep winning, [the fans] keep showing up," Plum said postgame on playing in front of an electric home crowd at Crypto.com Arena. "I hate losing, it makes me sick.”

The two-time WNBA champion, bringing a wealth of experience to her new home in Los Angeles, poured in 17 points on 75 percent shooting in the third quarter alone — part of a home offensive barrage after halftime that maintained a crucial double-digit Sparks lead.

Dearica Hamby complimented Plum's stellar day with 10 points, eight assists and six steals of her own, the latter of which marked a career high — and nearly matched the most single-game steals ever from a Spark (eight), set by Candace Parker.

Despite yet another double-double outing for Sky forward Angel Reese, Plum and the Sparks managed to hand Chicago its third straight loss of 2025 — with the Sky remaining a winless 0-3 through the first month of the WNBA season.

“We’re not happy obviously, we’re not satisfied at all … we’re hungry for a win," Reese said postgame.

The Sparks (2-3) look to even themselves at .500 tonight against the Atlanta Dream, while the Sky (0-3) travel to Phoenix, searching for their first win of 2025 against the Mercury.
