Los Angeles, CA (AHN) - Becky Hammon poured in 25 points and Sophia Young scored 17 as the San Antonio Silver Stars claimed a 63-61 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday night.

San Antonio (13-6), which has won five straight and nine of its last 11, took a two-point lead late when Hammon made a pretty pass to Young for the winner with 17.8 seconds to go.

The Sparks went on a 10-0 run to begin the fourth quarter to take a 52-50 lead.

Hammon's jumper with 2:21 left gave the Silver Stars a 58-56 advantage and the combo guard nailed a 3-pointer to give her team the lead again with a 1:26 remaining.

Sidney Spencer and Sherill Baker added 10 points apiece for Los Angeles. As time expired, Spencer clanked a jump shot that would have tied the game.
