WNBA 8/14

[Durwood]

The streak is over! LA Sparks are still the league's best team, and they'll prove it in the playoffs. However, last night they lost in OT to Utah. All five starters played at least 39 minutes. Tonight's game at Portland is meaningless, except hopefully to Portland, who will sit out the playoffs, and will want to finish on a high. I'm betting the Sparks rest some players, and taking Portland +4.

Well, Coach Cooper didn't rest his players,
and the result was a nine-point win. My apologies for the recommendation. Portland kept it close until the end, though. A better play would have been the under, as both teams looked fatigued.
