BOX SCORE
HOUSTON (AP) -- Tamecka Dixon scored 14 of her 19 points in the
second half as four Los Angeles players scored in double figures
Saturday to rally the Sparks to an 84-74 victory over the Houston
Comets.
|  | | Comets guard Cynthia Cooper leaps past DeLisha Milton (8) of the Sparks for a first-half layup Saturday. Cooper scored a game-high 25 points. |
Los Angeles overcame a nine-point deficit in the second half to
complete the sweep of the three-game season series with Houston.
DeLisha Milton had 17 points, while Lisa Leslie and Mwadi Mabika
added 16 apiece.
The Sparks (24-3) made four of their first five shots to build
an early six-point lead. The Comets (22-5) pulled even and put
together a 7-0 run in the closing minutes of the first half to take
a 43-36 at halftime.
Houston extended the lead to as many as nine points before Los
Angeles started to rally. The Sparks went on a 25-6 run to take a
10-point lead with six minutes remaining. The Comets were unable to
pull any closer than six from that point.
Los Angeles took a two-game lead over Houston in the Western
Conference.
Cynthia Cooper scored 25 points for the Comets, and Janeth
Arcain added 16.
