Tuesday's WNBA Capsules

ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) - Sylvia Fowles scored a season-high 34 points and pulled down 16 rebounds to help the Chicago Sky snap a three-game losing streak with a 78-65 win over the Washington Mystics on Tuesday night.

Fowles, the WNBA's scoring leader at 21.9 points a game, scored 20-plus points for the eighth time in 11 games for Chicago (5-6). It was her third career game of 30 or more points.

Marissa Coleman had 14 points, and Matee Ajavon and Jasmine Thomas each added 11 for the Mystics (2-7), who have lost two straight and six of seven.

Epiphanny Prince added 14 points and Michelle Snow had 11 rebounds for Chicago, which shot 48.1 percent (26 of 54) and outrebounded the Mystics 38-27.

Snow's first-half block was the 321st of her career, good for ninth in WNBA history.

Mercury 101, Sparks 82

PHOENIX (AP) - Diana Taurasi and Candice Dupree scored 20 points each, helping Phoenix rally after a scary injury to guard Ketia Swanier.

Swanier was helped off the court in the third following an elbow to the head by Sparks guard Kristi Toliver. The Mercury turned a 10-point deficit into a 14-point lead in the quarter and never let up on the way to their sixth win in seven games.

Penny Taylor had 16 points and Kara Braxton added 14 for Phoenix.

Ebony Hoffman had 21 points and LaToya Pringle 12 for Los Angeles, which fell to 0-5 on the road this season.

Fever 78, Storm 61

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Jessica Davenport had 15 points, seven rebounds and four blocked shots to lead Indiana.

Tamika Catchings added 11 points, six rebounds and four steals for the Fever (8-3), who won their fifth straight game. Shannon Bobbitt and Shavonte Zellous each scored eight points.

Sue Bird scored 21 points and Swin Cash had 13 for the Storm, who played their fourth straight game without center Lauren Jackson while she recovers from hip surgery.

The Fever played without starting guard Briann January, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury in Indiana's 91-85 win over Phoenix on June 28.
