Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

L.A. Sparks star Candace Parker on making playoffs: "We just need to win out and see what happens."

While the Phoenix Mercury clinched a 2011 WNBA playoff berth with their win tonight, the Los Angeles Sparks find themselves on the brink of elimination but will still have hope if they can beat the San Antonio Silver Stars on Tuesday.

Parker is right: the Sparks just need to win. But that's easier said than done for a team that just got outrebounded 46-27 tonight (a season-high for the Mercury).

More on the Western Conference playoff race at SBN Seattle (link above).
