Candace Parker has rare triple-double as Sparks sail past Stars
![Candace Parker [800x450]](https://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/photo/2017/0728/r237295_800x450_16-9.jpg&w=900&h=360&scale=crop&location=origin)
Earlier this week, Atlanta's Layshia Clarendon had a triple-double rescinded after two of her assists were later taken away in a league review.
Parker's statistical feat is the first since Temeka Johnson's triple-double on July 24, 2014.
Odyssey Sims led Los Angeles (16-6) with a season-high 22 points on 9 of 12 shooting. Jantel Lavender added 18 points.
Lavender made a 3-pointer on two straight possessions to extend Los Angeles' lead to 66-54 early in the fourth quarter. San Antonio pulled to 75-70 with 4:05 to go, but the Stars went scoreless for three-plus minutes and trailed 85-70.
Kayla McBride scored 18 of her 20 points in the second half for San Antonio (3-20).
The Stars closed the first half on a 12-0 run to pull to 39-35.
