Los Angeles' 97-89 victory over the Dallas Wings made them the first team in the history of the league to reach 500 victories. There is a time and a place for this. Nneka had a birthday on Saturday, but the way she has played this season has made her look older. She won the Most Valuable Player award in 2016 when she was younger. The Sparks are in the top six in the power rankings. The coach/general manager was let go in June and the team had a brutal early schedule. They are 4-2 since June 21, their only losses being to the Chicago Sky and Las Vegas. Los Angeles is one of three original eight teams that is still in the city where it started in 1997, along with the Phoenix Mercury and New York Liberty. During the past two weeks, the Sparks have reminded everyone to watch them. In an 84-74 victory over New York, the post trio of Nneka, Chiney and Liz combined for 50 points. The All-Star Game will be played in Los Angeles on Sunday. The game is against Phoenix Los Angeles is difficult to stop because of the way the inside game performs. "Our frontcourt, we just take the game very seriously," Chiney said after a double-double Sunday. We want to play well with each other, no matter who is out there. The sisters have been playing together for a long time. Adding Cambage to the mix is a new twist that they have embraced. She hadn't had a double-double since May 8. It has taken us a long time to figure out how to pass the ball to each other. We have finally nailed the communication part. We can get results in real time when we have a team that everyone can contribute to. The All-Star game will be played on Sunday. She is shooting 57.6% from the field and has averaged 18.6 points and 7.2 rebound. The past two seasons have been taxing emotionally and physically on the No. 1 draft pick. The COVID-19 bubble season required a lot of leadership and problem-solving. She dealt with a knee injury, her omission from the U.S. Olympic team, and her unsuccessful attempt to play for Nigeria in the Tokyo Games. Nneka was still an elite level player. Chiney believes that her sister is enjoying the game more this season. Nneka's ability to balance everything is one of her favorite words. As a sister, I wanted her to just play basketball. She doesn't feel like she has to be the center of attention. She has been able to do that. Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson both took rookies in the All-Star team selection. This is the first thing. The sky of Chicago.
Record: 15-5
Previous ranking: 1
The Sky went 2-0 against Connecticut and Phoenix, scoring 91 points and shooting better than 50% in both games, and are currently in the top spot in the Power Rankings for the second week in a row. The All-Star Game will be held in Chicago, and it will be exciting for the hosts. Chicago has won eight of its past nine games.
At Minnesota and Indiana this week.
In the fourth quarter, the Lynx and the Aces are tied at one.
There are two There is a Las Vegas team.
Record: 15-6
Previous ranking: 2
There were four games on the road. They beat Los Angeles and Minnesota and lost to Seattle in the second game of their series. They lost four of their past six after allowing a 28-point lead to get away from them. It might be a good time for Las Vegas to reset. The next three games are against the Liberty, two of which are in New York.
New York is this week's opponent.
The Sun collected a 74-72 win in overtime thanks to a block by Brionna Jones.
There are three. The Connecticut Sun is outdoors.
Record: 14-7
Previous ranking: 3
Slow starts were a problem for the Sun this past week, as they were outscored 58-35 in the first quarter against Chicago and Washington. The bad news for the Sun was they fell behind and lost in overtime. The coach said that it was more about heart and effort than strategic changes. He thinks that rally will have a positive impact on that Sun.
At Dallas on Tuesday.
There are four. There is a storm in Seattle.
Record: 13-8
Previous ranking: 5
The Storm went 1-2 in their first week with center Tina Charles, who averaged 15 points and 15 boards per game. In wins over Las Vegas and Indiana at home, the Storm looked good, but in a loss at Atlanta, they looked tired. Breanna Stewart acknowledged that but was pragmatic about it. The schedule is not easy, but we know it is. The players should have brought a bit more energy.
At Los Angeles on Thursday.
There are five. The Washington Mystics are a professional basketball team.
Record: 13-10
Previous ranking: 4
It was a great week for the Mystics, but they let the game at Connecticut get away from them. It looked as if Washington would steal a win on the road at Connecticut without Elena Delle Donne. The Sun overcame a 15-point halftime deficit and won in overtime. The Mystics are 3-4 since June 16 and are haunted by these types of games.
At Atlanta on Wednesday.
There are six. The Los Angeles Clippers.
Record: 9-11
Previous ranking: 7

This week, the Sparks went 1-2. The guards and wings have had to do their jobs as well. Lexie Brown is the only guard on the team who has played in every game. Jordin Canada had 11 points and seven assists in Sunday's game, after missing two games due to an illness. In her first year in the league, Samuelson is having the best season of her four-year career, shooting 42% from 3-point range.
Coach Fred Williams said he didn't think it was serious that veteran player Kristi Toliver left the game early with a calf injury. Chennedy Carter hasn't scored in double figures in over a month and didn't play on Sunday. She said that she had hurt her knee.
In this week's games: vs. Phoenix and Seattle.
There are seven. The dream of the city of Atlanta.
Record: 10-11
Previous ranking: 10
Tiffany Hayes made her season debut for the Dream on Thursday, scoring 21 points in a win over New York. Wheeler, who had been out with a foot injury, came back this week and hit the 3-pointer that sent the game into overtime. The forward had a season-high 21 points in the victory.
Washington is this week's opponent.
The lane has a bucket and a foul.

Chicago is this week's opponent.
There are nine. The Phoenix Mercury is a basketball team.
Record: 9-13
Previous ranking: 11
Even though they lost Tina Charles, the Mercury went on to win two of their three games. The All-Star Game wouldn't be an All-Star Game without Diana Taurasi, according to the coach. Was it a mistake to try to get one of her players to play better? It insulted the players who are All-stars. In the same news conference, Diggins-Smith was praised for being an All-star. The player and coach could have had a private discussion.
Los Angeles and New York are on this week's schedule.
There are ten. The Statue of Liberty is known as New York Liberty.
Record: 8-12
Previous ranking: 6
New York lost to Atlanta and Los Angeles and fell out of the power rankings. The Liberty's disappearance in the extra period was a perfect example of how quickly a victory can be snatched away. The Liberty have two more Pacific time zone games coming up before All-Star weekend, and they need to get over their defeat at Los Angeles. It's important to bounce back from losses you think you should have won.
At Las Vegas and Phoenix this week.
There is a new date for the 11th. They call them the Dallas Wings.
Record: 9-12
Previous ranking: 8
Diggins-Smith and Harrison used social media to question their coaches. She played 17 minutes in a loss to Minnesota and 9 minutes in a loss to Los Angeles. Two weeks ago things seemed to be going well for the Wings, but now they have lost four of their last five games.
Connecticut is this week's opponent.
The movie Indiana Fever is about a boy named Indiana.
Record: 5-17
Previous ranking: 12
It's not a good idea to call it a season in July. The Fever will not make the playoffs for the sixth year in a row because they went 0-3 this week. Young players' development is the focus. Queen Egbo had her second double-double of the season in Friday's loss to Seattle, but the team scored a season-low 57 points.
In this week's games: vs Seattle, vs Chicago.
