The longtime Sparks star sets a WNBA record with her third career triple-double, totaling 10 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists in just three quarters in an 82-59 win.
LOS ANGELES — Brittney Sykes’ eyes grew wide as she fixated on the stat sheet.
In the Chicago Sky’s 82-59 win, the longtime WNBA All-Star finished with a triple-double of 10 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists against her former team. She – who also moved into fifth place in league history for blocked shots and eighth for assists – was met with roaring applause during player introductions and fans darted across the stands toward the tunnel for a glimpse of her after the game.
Ambivalence shrouded the game as the warm and fuzzy feelings surrounding Parker’s return contrasted with defensive frustration for the Sparks . Allie Quigley dished an assist to Parker for an alley-oop with 2:30 left in the third quarter, silencing the crowd that earlier welcomed her. Jordin Canada made consecutive shots with 17 seconds left in the quarter, but Parker drove in for a layup with five seconds left and Chicago was still up 24 points after three quarters.
