The Seattle Storm still had enough firepower to defeat the Los Angeles Sparks, 81-75, despite missing the services of veteran point guard Sue Bird.
Bird sat out the Storm's fourth game of the WNBA season to rest, but her team still got it done as Breanna Stewart tallied 21 points and nine rebounds. Jordin Canada, who started in Bird's place, had 16 points, four rebounds, and three assists.
However, the Storm had an answer every time they neared, with Canada nailing a crucial layup with under five minutes left to give the Storm a 70-65 lead. Jewel Lloyd added a three-pointer in their next possession to give Seattle more breathing room, 73-65. Candace Parker led the Sparks with 19 points and 12 rebounds. Los Angeles dropped to 2-2, while the Storm improved to 3-1.
Parker's shot capped a back-and-forth game that allowed the Sky to hand the defending champion Mystics their first loss of the season. She finished with 16 points and six rebounds.
