    GAME. BLOUSES.

    The Los Angeles Sparks took home the WNBA Finals championship Thursday night by winning a squeaker, 77-76, against the favored Minnesota Lynx. All-Star forward Nneka Ogwumike’s clutch jump shot with 3.1 seconds left on the clock gave the Sparks its first title in 14 years.

    Two-time regular-season MVP Candace Parker finished with 28 points and 12 rebounds and was named Finals MVP. She dedicated her first WNBA title to her late college coach, Pat Summitt.
