Led by a strong fourth quarter from Kelsey Plum and Dearica Hamby, the Sparks picked up a must-win game over the Mystics on Sunday, 81-78.

Dearica Hamby had 20 points and 12 rebounds to notch another double-double. Kelsey Plum struggled to make an impact offensively for the first three quarters before coming alive in the fourth. She finished with 18 points, six assists and four rebounds.

Rickea Jackson continued her strong second half of the season, pouring in 16 points and serving as the lone bright spot from range for the Sparks with four 3-pointers.

With just six games left in the season and the Sparks on the outside looking in of the playoffs, every game is a must-win for LA, particularly against this Washington side that had lost six straight games coming into the night.
