The WNBA heads into its monthlong Olympic break following this weekend’s highly anticipated list of All-Star festivities.

Dearica Hamby finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds, Aari McDonald scored 16 off the bench and the Los Angeles Sparks beat two-time defending-champion Las Vegas 96-92 after the Aces scored the first 14 points of the game.

Kia Nurse scored 22 points and Aari McDonald added a season-high 21 to help the Los Angeles Sparks rally for a 88-82 victory over the Indiana Fever, handing Caitlin Clark her third straight home loss.

The Dallas Wings basically control the WNBA draft on Thursday night with the top two picks and four first-round choices.

The 11-time national champions are making their 13th consecutive Final Four appearance and 21st overall for coach Geno Auriemma. The Cardinal's first Final Four since 2017 is their 14th overall, trailing only to UConn and Tennessee's 18. The Wildcats hadn't even been in the women's NCAA Tournament since 2005, though they would have made it last year with a 24-7 record before the tourney was canceled because of the pandemic. Stanford is in its 34th consecutive women's NCAA Tournament, with Tara VanDerveer in her record 35th overall as a coach.
