Tommie Harris' wife dies
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., June 17 (UPI) -- The Los Angeles Sparks' bid for the best start in WNBA history disappeared Tuesday in 20 minutes.
Swin Cash scored 20 points to lead six players in double figures Tuesday as the Detroit Shock rallied from a 16-point deficit to hand the Sparks an 87-78 overtime defeat.
The Sparks won their first nine games this year to match the best start in league history. Los Angeles had the record in its sights as it bridged the halves with a 26-4 run to take its largest lead at 48-32 with 16:02 left.
Detroit chipped away with a balanced scoring attack and took its first lead of the second half, 70-69, on a pair of free throws by Elaine Powell with three minutes left.
Ruth Riley finished with 15 points and seven rebounds and Elaine Powell scored 13 points for Detroit.
Los Angeles had won 18 consecutive games, including the 2002 playoffs.
