For the first time since 2002, the Los Angeles Sparks are the champions of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). By virtue of their narrow 77-76 win over the Minnesota Lynx in the decisive Game 5 of the WNBA Finals, the sisters have done it for themselves and bought another sports title home to the City of Angels:

As a consolation, may I just say that the Lynx put up one heck of a fight, and they were competitive from start to finish, with the end result coming down to the last three seconds. Indeed, both they and the Sparks battled for supremacy in the league all this year.

They did put up a fight! The game could have gone either way. It was an exciting game!!! Next year the crown comes back to MN!!! LA is tough and the Lynx players are getting a bit older!!!
