Dearica Hamby and Layshia Clarendon sparked the Sparks, but the team couldn't overcome a 9-0 Atlanta Dream run and lost their opener Wednesday.
Nobody would budge through the first three quarters. The Sparks would go on a run, the Atlanta Dream would respond with one of their own and vice versa. They were deadlocked at 66 going into the fourth quarter, neither giving the other any breathing room. Then, the fourth quarter happened. Cheyenne Parker-Tyus and Crystal Dangerfield hit back-to-back layups to open the fourth. Then Rhyne Howard got some free throws and followed them with a three.
Brink finished with 11 points, four assists and two blocks during her WNBA debut, but early foul trouble limited her impact. During the second possession of the game, Brink found Clarendon, who hit a three pointer for the Sparks’ first points of 2024. Brink then cut inside to get the easy layup for her first a professional points. The hot start propelled the Sparks to an early 9-2 lead.
