Kelsey Plum proves she's still got it, does something no Sparks guard ever has image

Kelsey Plum hasn’t been in Los Angeles for long, but she is already showing why she’s one of the WNBA’s most respected stars. The veteran guard put on a clinic Thursday night, proving that her game speaks loudly no matter the uniform.

In the Sparks’ 101-86 win over the Connecticut Sun, Plum posted 30 points, six assists, two rebounds and two steals. It was a complete performance that helped push the Sparks to their fourth straight win.

What really turned heads was her efficiency. Plum logged just under 30 minutes on the floor, finishing at 29 minutes. That made her the first guard in Sparks history to score 30 or more points in fewer than 30 minutes of game time.

She continues to prove that she remains a top-tier threat in the league, and her move to Los Angeles has only added fuel to the fire.

The Sparks are now 10-14 on the season and on a climb. With momentum building, a playoff run could be in play.
