| | Comments (0) |

Lisa Leslie scored 19 points in her final home regular season game for the Sparks and lead the charge in a 90-61 blowout win over the Minnesota Lynx.
Leslie and former college Tina Thompson - who also had 19 - led the team in scoring while Delisha Milton-Jones had 16 and Candace Parker scored 13 points and had 14 rebounds and five assists.

Leslie was honored before Friday's game by the Sparks and by Laker legend Magic Johnson, who called Leslie "a legend that was born right in front of our eyes." President Donna Orender added about Leslie, ""Her leadership and her passion have made her the leading icon in women's basketball today."

The Sparks are now a firm third seed in the playoffs with a record of 17-16 and finish the season in Phoenix on Sunday - with a 3 pm tipoff.
