Dearica Hamby scored 28 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, and two of Stephanie Talbot’s nine assists set up critical baskets down the stretch of overtime as the host Los Angeles Sparks snapped an eight-game skid with their 98–93 defeat of the Las Vegas Aces on Friday.

The Sparks (5–15) overcame 35 points and 12 rebounds from A'ja Wilson, as well as a furious fourth-quarter rally from the Aces, thanks to a balanced offensive effort.
