The Los Angeles Sparks and Seattle Storm played the game of the WNBA season Friday night, and after a back-and-forth fourth quarter, it seemed as though whoever had possession last would win.
The Storm’s final possession only lasted 0.8 seconds, but that was enough for Jewell Loyd to hit the game-winning 3-pointer as Seattle outlasted Los Angeles 90-89. There was a review to see if Loyd stepped on the sideline, but the shot stood, and the Sparks suffered their fifth defeat of the season, falling into a two-way tie for third in the WNBA standings when they would have been tied for first with a win.
