Los Angeles Sparks

Boxing out with intensity is never a bad idea because look at what pure hustle can lead to. Following a missed baseline jumper by a teammate, Los Angeles Sparks forward Chiney Ogwumike crashes the glass with fierce determination, getting a hand on the rebound despite being surrounded by four Minnesota Lynx white jerseys. Her hustle keeps the possession alive, deflecting the ball to a teammate in the corner, who whips it back up top and eventually into the capable hands of Brittney Sykes. Instead of rising up for a contested foul-line jumper, Sykes changes her motion in mid-air, opting for an unselfish dump-off to a wide open Nneka Ogwumike for an easy layup on July 31, 2022 showdown.
