Ogwumike was 6 of 6 from the field in the first half to extend her WNBA record to 23 straight made field goals over the past three games. She missed her first shot of the second half, a 3-pointer from the wing, and finished 12 of 14.

Los Angeles opened on an 8-0 run as Chicago struggled from the field for the first 3 minutes. The Sky pulled to 15-14, but the Sparks closed on a 12-4 run for a 27-18 first-quarter lead. Chicago went scoreless for the first 2 minutes of the second quarter and trailed 46-37 at halftime.

Chicago did not get closer than nine points in the fourth.

Cappie Pondexter had 20 points for fifth-ranked Chicago (5-6). Elena Delle Donne was held to 15 points on 4-of-12 shooting.
