Cameron Brink plays well in front of Jimmy Butler

Cameron Brink had a solid performance in the LA Sparks' 81-72 win over the Dallas Wings on June 7. Hooping in front of the home crowd and Jimmy Butler, Brink registered a double-double on the night and helped her team bag the much-needed victory.

Brink played 26 minutes in the game, scoring 10 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in the process. The versatile center went 5-11 from the field but failed to convert either of her two three-point attempts.

Along with the points and rebounds, Brink also had one assist, two blocks and two steals in the game.

Brink's double-double performance not only helped deliver the much-needed victory to the LA Sparks, but it also bolstered the fans' confidence in the rookie, who had a couple of bad games in a row previously.

Brink fouled out in the LA Sparks' previous WNBA game against the Minnesota Lynx. Throughout the season, Brink has struggled to play defense without fouling.

During the game against Dallas Wings on June 7, Brink managed to keep herself in the game but once again flirted with danger. Overall, she finished the game with five fouls to her name. One more and she could have fouled out again.
