Hamby’s improbable triple capped a solo 10-point scoring spree and a 20-minute performance in which the ball zipped across the hardwood, the defense suffocated and every Spark had their fingerprints on a rout of the WNBA’s seventh-best team.

Citron went for 3-for-9 and Iriafen for 4-from-10, each for 8 points. Sykes also had a forgettable night with 2-from-7 for 8 points. That is definitely not going to get it done against the L.A. Sparks, in L.A.

As the Sparks try to climb the league standings, they will host the Washington Mystics Tuesday night, in the first of a four-game series in the last 23 games of the regular season.
