Chicago Sky vs Los Angeles Sparks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jul 10, 2026

The first quarter set an explosive pace that the second half could never match. Los Angeles and Chicago combined for 57 points in the opening frame—a blistering start that foreshadowed an offensive evening despite a sharp midgame slowdown. The Sparks held on for a 102–87 victory, with the combined total of 189 landing well above the 176.5 market line, finishing 12.5 points over.

After that scorching Q1, the game cooled dramatically. The two teams managed just 44 combined points in the second quarter, then fell to 42 in the third—a grinding stretch that seemed to signal a defensive tightening. The fourth quarter, however, broke loose again with 46 combined points, enough to push the night into decidedly high-scoring territory. Los Angeles controlled the second half, outscoring Chicago in the final two frames while holding the Sky to just 39 points after halftime. Nneka Ogwumike led the charge with 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Dearica Hamby and Ariel Atkins each added 17 points. Chicago's offense was distributed across Kamilla Cardoso (15 pts, 8 reb), Gabriela Jaquez (15 pts), and Sydney Taylor (15 pts), but none could sustain momentum down the stretch. DAGGER's pregame lean to the under missed, but a live adjustment cashed as the totals picture shifted.
