LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Sparks ’ quest to make the WNBA Playoffs suffered a crushing blow on Friday following their 76-75 loss to the Indiana Fever. The loss dropped the Sparks to 17-20 and put them two games back of the eighth seed with only seven games remaining. Following the loss, Sparks forward Dearica Hamby wasn’t ready to close the door on the team’s season just yet.
“One game at a time. We got Sunday, Washington, we’re trying to split the season series with them,” Hamby said. “We can kind of still control our own destiny, five-and-two and make a shot at this. So turn the page and keep going.”
The five-and-two that Dearica Hamby was referencing is if the Sparks finish the regular season with five wins and two losses in their last seven games to end the year at .500, 22-2
