WASHINGTON (AP) — Dearica Hamby had 24 points and 14 rebounds for her 48th career double-double, Rickea Jackson scored 20 of her 22 points in the second half and the Los Angeles Sparks beat the Washington Mystics 93-86 on Tuesday night. Los Angeles (9-14) has won three straight games, including back-to-back victories over Washington (11-12), before and after the All-Star break. Los Angeles led 81-78 before scoring nine straight points, capped by Hamby's baseline jumper with 1:54 left in the fourth quarter for a 12-point lead. Kelsey Plum sealed it on a long 3-pointer with 49.1 left. Plum finished with 11 points and three 3-pointers for Los Angeles. Jackson made four of the Sparks' 13 3s.
