They played at the Los Angeles Convention Center from May until July and then played at the Staples Center after the league took its Olympic break.
[2] The Sparks started the season slowly, losing the first two games.
The Sparks went into the Olympic break on a low note when they lost all four games in July.
After the break, a favorable schedule contributed to a four-game winning streak to begin the August schedule, with wins over Indiana and Atlanta who finished in the bottom two of the final regular season standings.
Despite winning two of the last three, a final day loss meant the Sparks finished outside the playoff places with a 12–20 overall record.
