Several Sparks players filled the comments with love and emojis.

Kelsey Plum delivered in crunch time, scoring 14 points in the fourth quarter to seal the hard-fought victory.

After the game, she told the broadcast crew how much the win meant.

“I was just proud of the way we battled,” she said. “Everyone’s tired, it’s that point in the season, but I thought Dearica was huge tonight. Rickea hit some big shots. Rae came in, gave us great energy. It was a great team win.”

According to Underdog, Kelsey Plum leads the league this season with 6.4 points per game in fourth quarters.

“I know it’s going to break open for me eventually,” she said. “I thought they did a really good job on ball screen defense throughout the game. So just trying to be patient and then take my shots when they were ready.”

The Sparks now head into a three-game road trip, visiting the Seattle Storm on Monday before facing the Atlanta Dream on Wednesday and Friday.

“Just got to go one game at a time,” Plum said. “Seattle’s a great team, and everyone at this point in the season is looking for wins.”

According to Tankathon, the Sparks have the fifth-toughest remaining schedule in the league.
