 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Playing aggressive defense, the Sacramento Monarchs took the Los Angeles Sparks out of their game. Yolanda Griffith scored 15 points to lead the Monarchs into the WNBA finals for the second straight season with a 72-58 victory over the Sparks on Saturday night. The Sparks were held to 37 percent shooting for the game and got outrebounded 40-25.
"We know we're a great team," Griffith said.
The Monarchs clinched the Western Conference finals 2-0 and remain undefeated in the playoffs. They will defend their league title against either Connecticut or Detroit, which play a deciding third game in the Eastern Conference on Sunday.
