Cameron Brink and the Los Angeles Sparks outpaced Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings on Friday night, earning a hard-fought 97-96 win behind seven rebounds from the standout forward.

Bueckers, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, entered Friday with 141 assists and needed just two to pass Odyssey Sims ' record of 142 set in 2014 when the franchise was known as the Tulsa Shock. It didn't take long for Bueckers to take care of business.

Plum scores 28 points, Dearica Hamby adds 20 and the Sparks held on for a 97-96 road win after Bueckers’ contested 3-point shot rolls off the rim as time expires.
