Plum knocks it out of the park with a staggering 20.9 points per game this season and Hamby trails close behind, being a consistent performer who puts in 17.5 points per game on average.
Brushing over the historical facts, it's evident that the Seattle Storm has grappled an upper hand in recent clashes against the Sparks. But let's not get too ahead of ourselves here. It's a game of round ball, after all, the tide can turn any moment.
As far as both team's resilience is judged on their records, the Storm with 6 wins is narrowed out by the Sparks who have only mustered 4 wins this season. Alas, stats on paper are one thing, the real contest happens on court, where every second counts.
Sifting through the recent results, it looks like Seattle has had a pleasant victory streak with 3 wins out of its last 5 games, whereas the Sparks have been falling a bit short on luck, collapsing to a win-loss ratio of 2-3.
