Chicago Sky vs LA Sparks Game Player Stats and Box Score for May 26 | 2025 WNBA Season

The Chicago Sky vs LA Sparks matchup took place at Crypto.com Arena on Sunday night. This is the first time that these two teams met in the regular season.

Both the Sky and the Sparks were in need of a win after finding themselves in the cellar of the standings. Chicago had lost its first two outings, while LA had only secured one win out of four games. Coming into this season, the two ball clubs are looking to have a better showing after subpar finishes in the 2024 campaign. A victory on Sunday could perhaps steer either team in the right direction.

In the end, it was the Sparks who came out on top as they defeated the Sky 91-78. Kelsey Plum led the way with 28 points on 50% shooting from the field, along with two rebounds and eight assists. Azura Stevens also came up big on the scoring end, putting up 24 points on 10-for-14 FG shooting. Odyssey Sims chipped in 12 points and Dearica Hamby added 10 points, six rebounds, and eight assists.

Three-point shooting was a key factor in this game, as the Sparks sizzled for 48.1% from beyond the arc while the Sky shot a miserable 20.0%. Angel Reese had a double-double for Chicago with 13 points and 12 rebounds, while Kamilla Cardoso added 12 points and six boards.
