Los Angeles Sparks vs. Atlanta Dream - Condensed Game

The Sparks have won three games in a row for the first time this season and sit a half-game behind the eighth-place Chicago Sky in the WNBA standings. The top eight teams advance to the playoffs, which begin Sept. 13.

Atlanta (15-15) shot 4 of 15 from the field in the third quarter as the Sparks turned their seven-point halftime deficit into a 62-56 lead going into the fourth. Canada jumped a passing lane and went the other way for a layup and, on the Dream's next possession, stole the ball and converted a three-point play that gave L.A. an 11-point lead. Atlanta never threatened again.

The Dream have lost four of their last five games and 7 of 10.

Cheyenne Parker and Rhyne Howard scored 17 points apiece to lead Atlanta. Aari McDonald added 15 points on 5-of-10 shooting.
