The Sparks entered Sunday's home contest against the Connecticut Sun — Los Angeles' second of three consecutive home games — searching for their first home win in nearly two months, the last of which came against the Chicago Sky on May 25.

Fueled by a pair of record-breaking performances from guard Kelsey Plum and forward Rickea Jackson, the Sparks left Crypto.com Arena back in the win column — after a back-and-forth 92-88 victory over the Sun.

FINAL — Sparks: 92, Sun: 88

LA survives a late Connecticut comeback to claim its first home win in nearly two months. Plum and Stevens combined for 44 points in the victory.

Plum and Jackson poured in 23 and 19 points, respectively, joining Dearica Hamby (17 points) and Azura Stevens (21 points) as the four Sparks to finish in double figures.

Plum converted three triples on Sunday — the first of which came midway through the first quarter and marked her 537th of her career, placing Los Angeles' star guard in sole possession of No. 15 on the WNBA's all-time three-pointers made list.

Minutes later, Jackson closed a dominant 20-point second quarter for Los Angeles — logging her highest-scoring half of the 2025 season. She scored 17 points on 8-for-10 shooting in the first two frames alone.

Bria Hartley led Connecticut with a game-high 25 points on 7-for-17 shooting, but couldn't close a late road comeback.

Los Angeles improves to 7-14 in 2025 and closes its three-game homestand with a Tuesday night finale matchup against the Washington Mystics.
