LOS ANGELES, CA – The Los Angeles Sparks came back from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Phoenix Mercury 87-84.  Rookie Amy Atwell played aggressive every time she was on the court, and led the Sparks with 19 points shooting 6-for-7 from the field and a perfect 6-for-6 from three-point range in 15 minutes.

Atwell says her success is, because of the work she does off the court.

The Sparks pulled out the win without All-Star center Liz Cambage, who fouled out after playing just over 11 minutes and only scoring four points.  Cambage stayed engaged and continued to coach up rookie Olivia Nelson-Ododa from the sideline. Head Coach/GM Derek Fisher says “that is just who she is.”
