Los Angeles front-line of star players and 12 days of rest to regain the stride the Sparks lost during the final 10 games of the regular season proved too much for the Chicago Sky to overcome in Game 1 of the WNBA semifinals.But the Sky have not lost hope and take a measure of confidence into Game 2 of the best-of-five series Friday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.Candace Parker, the 2008 and 2013 league MVP, and Nneka Ogwumike, this years MVP, combined for 57 points and 19 rebounds in the Sparks 95-75 victory in Game 1. Nineteen of Parkers 30 points came in the first half when Chicago center Imani Boyette was on the bench with foul trouble.Los Angeles coach Brian Agler liked Parkers all-around effort.Its not just her scoring that makes her great, Agler said. When she handles the ball in the middle of the floor theres a lot of positive things that can happen, and shes pretty hard to stop.Ogwumike was honored for her MVP season prior to the game Wednesday and paired with Parker to show how good the Sparks can be when they are firing on all cylinders.Its been nothing but love the last few days, and the break gave us a chance to reset and make find some of the things we were missing at the end of the regular season, Ogwumike said. Its been awesome, and this (win) was a great way to start off our run.The Sky was shorthanded and will remain that way for at least the next few games with Elena Delle Donne, last seasons MVP and this years scoring champion, watching from the bench in street clothes. Delle Donne has been sidelined since Sept. 12 after undergoing thumb surgery but could be a huge factor later in the series.Nneka was the MVP tonight, but so was Candace, Chicago coach Pokey Chatman said. Parkers an MVP-type player, she has played with had a chip on her shoulder all season. Big-time players step up and she did (Wednesday).Chicago had four players in double-figure scoring in Game 1 led by Jamierra Faulkners 13 points off the bench.Los Angeles won all four meetings this season by double-digit margins, including twice in Chicago with Delle Donne in the Sky lineup.Game 3 is set for Sunday afternoon at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill.

Nike NFL Jerseys Free Shipping. - Derek Wolfe says hes finally healthy after suffering a seizure in November that doctors now believe was related to the spinal cord injury he suffered in the preseason. Niki Lauda has labelled suggestions Mercedes would intentionally sabotage Lewis Hamiltons car ridiculous and stupid after his retirement at the Malaysian Grand Prix.Hamilton looked to be easing towards his first win since July in Sepang when his engine failed on lap 41, meaning he is now 23 points behind teammate Nico Rosberg with five races to go. After the race Hamilton questioned why, out of all the eight drivers equipped with a Mercedes power unit this season, he is the only one to have had numerous failures and issues.Hamilton suffered failures in China and Russia, and then had to take a hefty grid penalty in Belgium to stockpile three fresh engines -- one of which subsequently failed in Malaysia. But Lauda says it is ridiculous to think Mercedes would favour one driver over another, especially considering Hamilton has won two world titles with the team.Honestly, weve worked for him and for Nico in a perfect way, Lauda said. He won two championships so far with us, we finished the most races ever. So what do you think, we just started sabotaging? Its completely ridiculous and stupid.When asked if Mercedes cares who wins the 2016 title out of Hamilton and Rosberg, Lauda said: We work for both cars the same way, we let them race the same way.dddddddddddd All these questions are ridiculous.Lauda, who also said Hamilton will not be fined for the original comments as they were made in the heat of the moment and were later clarified, thinks the only thing Mercedes can do is apologise.I have to tell you one thing. I know Lewis very well and he will not accuse the team. His interpretation, I cannot accept it, because Lewis knows we do everything we can to give him the best car and the best engine.I personally feel very sorry because my job is engine and team, so I am responsible for the engine. So I really feel sorry for him and I apologised to him that the engine failed.Mercedes is looking into the root cause of the failure.This was a young engine, not an old one, so we do not know the cause. So if we dont know the cause so if we do not know the cause, no-one can say we sabotaged -- this is ridiculous. If you speak to Lewis directly I guess he will not say this.We will have every investigation weve had before. But I cannot give you the explanation to this failure because we dont know what it is, we need to take it home and check it. Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
