The Los Angeles Sparks will look to avoid a second early-season, three-game losing skid when they host the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday.

With 6:45 left in the third quarter, during a 14-4 Chicago Sky run, the Phoenix Mercury were staring down their first home loss of the season Tuesday night.

Natisha Hiedeman made a 3-pointer with 5.1 seconds remaining to lift the undefeated Minnesota Lynx to a 74-71 victory over the Phoenix Mercury on Friday night.
