LA 79, Tulsa 74 - Heart. Breaker.

An 18 point lead to a loss. Oh my, so sad. :'(

There's more to say, but I have to go shed some tears in the hallway first.

OK, I'm back with dry eyes. Here's the skinny, the LA zone in the last 14 minutes of play was the difference. Well, and Kristi Toliver's career-high matching 25 points (4-of-10 from 3-point range). DMJ added 18 points and nine rebounds in the win. The Sparks were 62.5% from three, and shot 51.7% from the field.

Tulsa was led by Andrea Riley's 15 points, 14 of which were in the first half. Tiffany Jackson got a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds, Kayla Pedersen added 13 and four steals and Liz Cambage dropped in 11 in the losing effort.

I need to go cry a little more. Or have a stiff drink. Or maybe both.
