Rookie point guard Olivia Miles drew plenty of player comparisons from Lynx teammates to start the season. The other half of her backcourt duo, Courtney Williams, dubbed Miles a “baby Chelsea Gray.”

But on Saturday night in Las Vegas, Miles’ late-game heroics weren’t enough to rally the Lynx past Las Vegas and Gray herself.

LOS ANGELES — Cameron Brink said she'd appreciate some grace. She really would.

Sparks fans should give her some, because where else is she going to get it?

Certainly not from WNBA refs. Not from opponents with more to play for than ever. Certainly not from the game itself; basketball moves fast, and a bummer can become a bust in a blink.
