The Seattle Storm (6-5) visit the Los Angeles Sparks (4-8) on June 17, Tuesday, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
The Storm snapped their three-game winning streak with a surprising 76-70 loss to the short-handed Golden State Valkyries. The Storm turned the ball over 16 times in that game. Moreover, Nneka Ogwumike, Gabby Williams, and Erica Wheeler only scored in single digits.
That game might be a hiccup, though. The Storm has been fairly competent this season, as they have an average offensive rating and defensive rating. They also have four players who are triple-threat scorers, making this a very unpredictable offense.
As for the Sparks, they've lost five of their last seven games. The most recent one was a 101-78 defeat to the Minnesota Lynx. Kelsey Plum and Rickea Jackson scored 20 and 18 respectively, but their defense was lackluster against the Lynx.
That has been the trend for the Sparks' season—they have a good offense but a bad defense. The Sparks currently rank 5th in offensive rating but 10th in defensive rating. Their defense might get exposed again when they face Ogwumike and the Storm.
It also doesn't help that the Sparks will miss the services of Plum and Odyssey Sims in this game.
