LOS ANGELES -- With both teams winning on each others home courts, the WNBA Finals are headed to a decisive fifth game for the second straight year.And just like a year ago, the Minnesota Lynx will be at home with a chance to win a record-tying fourth title.They earned their third by beating the Indiana Fever last year. Now, theyll try to finish off the Los Angeles Sparks in the deciding game Thursday.We have created a tough place to play at Target Center. Im expecting 15,000-plus fans for Game 5, Lynx guard Seimone Augustus said. Theyre going to bring the energy and were going to bring the pain.The Sparks hurt themselves with turnovers in the waning minutes of an 85-79 loss in Game 4 on Sunday night.With Kobe Bryant and Sparks co-owner Magic Johnson watching courtside, Maya Moore scored 31 points and the Lynx dominated in rebounding and fast-break points to even the series.This is what a Finals game should look like, both teams leaving it all out on the floor, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said.Lindsay Whalen added 13 points, Augustus had 12 and Sylvia Fowles had 10 points and 13 rebounds for Minnesota.Chelsea Gray led the Sparks with 20 points off the bench. She was 6 of 11 and made all four of her free throws.Minnesotas defense clamped down on the Sparks powerful duo of Nneka Ogwumike and Candace Parker, whose stellar resumes are missing only a WNBA championship. They were held to single-digit scoring in the first half.Ogwumike, the league MVP, finished with 11 points on 5 of 10 shooting, while two-time MVP Parker had 14 points and made 6 of 7 free throws for the Sparks, who are seeking their first title since 2002.Los Angeles opened the series with a two-point victory at Minnesota. The Lynx responded with a 19-point victory in Game 2 before the Sparks returned home and rode a big first-quarter to a 17-point win in Game 3.Kristi Toliver, who finished with 15 points, expects the deciding game to be as unpredictable as the others.Its going to be a dogfight. Its going to be up and down. Its going to be physical, she said. Hopefully well learn from this experience of knowing how to close out a series.The teams have three days until Game 5, the longest rest of the Finals. The Lynx head home on Monday, while the Sparks depart on Tuesday.We didnt lack desire to win or a will. We competed hard enough, Sparks coach Brian Agler said. Weve just got to put that back together and play with more poise.The Sparks outscored the Lynx 10-4 to open the fourth quarter, tying it at 69-all on Parkers driving bank shot as she fell out of bounds. Los Angeles went 6 of 9 from the free throw line in that span.Whalen scored two straight baskets to put the Lynx back in front 73-69 on turnovers by Ogwumike and Toliver.Grays fourth 3-pointer drew the Sparks to 77-75.They were down 79-77 when Parker was called for a shooting foul on Rebekkah Brunson, who made both free throws for an 81-77 lead. Ogwumike scored once more to pull the Sparks within two before Moore sealed the victory with a pair of free throws.I dont know if were going to see the results on Thursday, but this game is really going to help us because its the first time this team has been in this kind of environment, Agler said. Of course were playing against a great opponent thats been there several times, and you could tell the difference in both teams. Going through this, I could just sort of tell from our facial expressions in the locker room, this was new for them. Adidas Superstar Foundation Wit/Groen/Metalen Goud BY3715 . They reached the 100-point plateau for the fourth time in five games, bested the visiting Trail Blazers by 34 in the paint and scored 19 of the final 25 points in regulation.

CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox stayed quiet at Mondays non-waiver trade deadline and held onto All-Star pitchers Chris Sale and Jose Quintana.Dont think that means management is satisfied.General manager Rick Hahn again expressed his frustration and hinted at changes this offseason after making no major moves before Mondays deadline.Where were at right now, essentially in the middle of the pack, is not acceptable and not where we want to be, he said. Our approach of trying to keep things together, of trying to contend each year, hasnt gotten us to where weve been able to have sustained success or achieve at the level we want to.Chicago is third in the AL Central at 51-54 after a 23-10 start and in danger of missing the playoffs for the 10th time in 11 years since the 2005 championship season. There were rumors that Sale and Quintana could be dealt, but nothing materialized.The only move the White Sox made was a minor one when they dealt reliever Zach Duke to St. Louis for minor league outfielder Charlie Tilson on Sunday.Hahn would not commit to a full overhaul this offseason -- out of respect, he said, for the players and coaches trying to win every game for the remainder of the season.Even so, he made it clear that possibility is on the table, just as he did recently when he said the White Sox are mired in mediocrity.He said the frustration extends all the way to chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. Adding to it is the fact that they have some very special talent.There are certainly multiple pieces here that are capable of playing important roles on a championship club, Hahn said.dddddddddddd Its extraordinarily frustrating to all of us that it hasnt played out other than the first six weeks or so of the season.Hahn said the White Sox had intriguing discussions with other teams, though nothing we felt strongly enough to bring to Jerry.Sale and Quintana would no doubt command high prices on the trade market if the White Sox went the overhaul route. Thats something the organization has refused to do in recent years, instead trying to stay competitive through trades and free agency.Further complicating any talks involving Sale and Quintana is that both are on team-friendly contracts that dont expire anytime soon.The White Sox would have to be blown away by an offer and Hahn said contenders looking to add at the trade deadline did not want to part with players contributing in the majors. He believes more teams will be in the market in the offseason.Its gonna be different, and in all probability, its gonna be stronger, he said. We are going to be open-minded the next few weeks and head into the offseason with a desire to improve ourselves for the long term. And the clubs ... at that point may be quite different from the ones we were talking to over the last few weeks.Game notes The White Sox optioned OF J.B. Shuck to Triple-A Charlotte. He is batting .218 in 53 games over two stints with the major league club.
