Q1-2: Forgot the game was early - will watch replay if there is one. Got engrossed
watching Rams get beat up in H1. Tied up now, so maybe they can still pull
it out.
Q3: Sparks shooting decent from 2, but allowing 53% from 3 for PHO. 1 pt lead.
Q4: Sparks open a 12 pt lead and then get lazy handling the ball and trying to
use time and give it all away. CP3 gets a layup leaving 2.9s to go for PHO
and PHO misses the BB for an LA win. 5 players in DFs with CP3 getting the
DD. 89-87 Sparks win by 2.
