Candace Parker didn’t really get a chance to make an impact in last year’s season-ending loss in the WNBA semifinals to the Connecticut Sun.
The entire 2020 season was Parker’s rebuttal to a disappointing 2019. And in the Sparks’ second-round playoff game against that very same opponent, Parker made her presence felt. As was the case for most of the Sparks season, Parker was the best player on the court for her team, setting the tone in every phase of the game with her passing, scoring, and defense.
The rest of the Sparks just couldn’t provide enough to help her out.
