Game Recap
The Los Angeles Sparks defeated the Seattle Storm 90-74 on August 30, 2026.
Nneka Ogwumike led Los Angeles with a well-rounded performance of 23 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 assists, giving the Sparks a strong presence inside. Rae Burrell was right behind her, contributing 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, and together the two combined for 45 of the Sparks' 90 points. For Seattle, Flau'jae Johnson paced the offense with 19 points along with 3 rebounds and 2 assists, while Dominique Malonga posted a double-double of her own, finishing with 17 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 assists. Malonga's rebounding total was the highest of any player in the game, though it wasn't enough to offset the Sparks' balanced scoring attack. Despite Johnson and Malonga's productive outings, the Storm were unable to keep pace with Los Angeles across the full game. This was a regular-season matchup between the two teams, and the final margin of 16 points reflected the Sparks' control for much of the contest, with Ogwumike and Burrell's combined offensive output proving decisive in the final result.
