Angel McCoughtry scored 31 of the 92 points last night in the victory against the LA Sparks. Being held out of the starting lineup didn't seem to take effect at all. Atlanta snapped LA's five game winning streak with this game. Lindsey Harding (18 points) and Sancho Lyttle (13 points) both scored double figures, and Anieka Henry grabbed nine rebounds to help Atlanta skate pass the Sparks.
On the other hand, the Sparks did not have a player in double figures until the WNBA's number one draft pick Nneka Ogwumike scored her 11th point out of her 13. Sparks star Candace Parker was only held to nine points. The records now for each team is Atlanta (4-5) and Los Angeles (7-2). ``We need to come out with a lot of energy,'' Candace Parker stated. ``We can't start the way we did because it trickles down the rest of the game. We need to stay aggressive. I think our defense needs to dictate the way we play offensively and not vice versa.'' The Dream plays again at Philips Arena Sunday against the Connecticut Sun.
