The Los Angeles Sparks have surged back into the playoff picture in the Western Conference in the last few weeks, and there’s one main reason why: Candace Parker. The former two-time MVP took the first part of the season off to rest after her return from Russia. But she’s been as good as ever since her return, and the Sparks have followed suit.

Earlier today against Elena Delle Donne and the Chicago Sky, Parker had another spectacular performance, dropping 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 10 assists as the Sparks won 76-64.

Parker showed a little flair on her way to the near triple-double, using some fancy dribbling moves to get to the rim for an easy bucket. That last crossover she hits is just brutal. No way to stop that.
