Sparks blow it in MIN

[$Bill]

Sparks with another slow start get themselves down 19 in H1. H2 they start to
show up and get the deficit down to 4, but can't do any better than that. I
thought Parker had a very poor, non-energetic game and shot 1-6; Beard played
well, but also shot poorly (4-11). Nneka and the bench shot well. MIN was
taking advantage of Parker having to switch and getting to Fowles inside over
and over again. 77-88 Sparks lose by 11.
