What happened: Nneka Ogwumike posted 25 points on 9-of-16 shooting, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 made threes as the Los Angeles Sparks beat the Chicago Sky 102-87. Ogwumike became just the third player in WNBA history to reach 3,000 career field goals made.
Why it matters: The milestone puts Ogwumike in the company of Tina Charles and Diana Taurasi, two of the league's most prolific scorers. The win extends the Sparks' win streak and keeps them at .500 on the season, while Chicago drops to well below the playoff line.
By the numbers: Sparks improve to 11-11, winners in four of their last five and riding a one-game streak, averaging 88.3 points while allowing 91.3. Sky fall to 7-16 despite winning four of their last five, averaging 86.6 points and allowing 89.6.
What to watch: The Sparks look to build on the streak in their next outing, while Ogwumike's climb up the all-time field-goal list continues to draw notice.
