LOS ANGELES — Abby Bishop scored 13 of her career-high 18 points in the second half and the Seattle Storm rallied to beat the Los Angeles Sparks 60-54 in WNBA action Sunday.
Bishop scored back-to-back baskets to put the Storm (2-2) up 53-50 with 4:18 left in the game — their first lead since the opening minutes.
Rookie and No. 1 draft pick Jewell Loyd added Seattle’s final six points to help the Storm snap a two-game losing streak. Loyd finished 4-of-10 from the field after entering the game averaging 5.0 points and shooting just 5-for-31 from the floor.
Jantel Lavender led the Sparks (0-2) with 12 points and nine rebounds. Erin Phillips and Alana Beard each added 10 points.
The Sparks were again without Candace Parker, Kristi Toliver and Nneka Ogwumike. The trio also missed the season-opening 86-61 loss at Seattle on June 6.
