SEATTLE (AP) -- Ukari Figgs scored six points in overtime as the Los Angeles Sparks won their 12th straight game Tuesday night, with a 60-52 victory over the Seattle Storm.

The Sparks (28-3) can set the record for the best winning percentage in the four-year history of the WNBA by beating Utah in their final game Wednesday.

Los Angeles' Tamecka Dixon, who scored 17 points, missed a jumper at the end of regulation that could have won the game. Dixon's basket with 3:40 left in overtime gave the Sparks the lead for good.

Figgs added a basket for a 54-50 lead and made four free throws over the last 30 seconds.

Michelle Edwards led the Storm (6-24) with 20 points and six rebounds.

Lisa Leslie had 15 points, nine rebounds and four blocked shots for the Sparks. Mwadi Mabika had 12 rebounds as Los Angeles outrebounded Seattle 41-30.
