Paige Bueckers bested by LA Sparks on Sunday

Paige Bueckers played the second-to-last game of her WNBA rookie season on Sunday. Bueckers has proven to be a bright star, already notching her first All-Star appearance this season, despite struggling to help the Dallas Wings secure a playoff spot this year.

Those struggles were once again apparent when the LA Sparks beat the Wings on Sunday, 91-77. As usual, Bueckers was trying to keep the game within reach for Dallas. The Wings rookie added 18 points, seven assists, six rebounds and one block.

The only other Wings player to help Bueckers was Myisha Hines-Allen, who put up a double-double performance. Hines-Allen added 15 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block.

However, LA was set on keeping its playoff hopes alive as six Sparks players were in double figures to help secure a much-needed victory. Leading the charge in scoring was Julie Allemand, who scored 21 points. Azurá Stevens arguably had her best performance for the Sparks with her double-double outing of 13 points and 11 rebounds.

The other four Sparks players who helped notch the win on Sunday were Dearica Hamby (15 points), Rae Burrell (13 points), Kelsey Plum (12 points) and Rickea Jackson (11 points).
