SEATTLE (14) Atlanta Los Angeles Phoenix Connecticut Washington Minnesota Dallas Las Vegas Chicago New York Indiana 3-0 ZERO BACK-TO-BACK LOSSES With the Storm s victory over New York on Aug. 17, the Storm officially secured a season without back-to-back losses. Seattle became the fifth team in WNBA history to achieve such a feat for a season, as well as the first team to do so since FIRST TO CLINCH Seattle became the first team in the WNBA to clinch a spot in the playoffs this season after defeating the Minnesota Lynx on 8/3/18. The clinch marks the 14th playoff berth in the franchise s 19-year history. The Storm remains atop of the WNBA standings at 23-7 with four games remaining on the year. Seattle won t be able to match its franchise record for wins this season (28 in 2018), but did eclipse the second most wins in franchise history which was 22 wins, set in PRESEASON SWEEP Seattle went 2-0 in preseason play for the first time since 2013, collecting wins over the Phoenix Mercury. A trio of Storm players (Stewart, Loyd, Canada) scored 15 points apiece in a victory at KeyArena on May 8, and then Canada led four players in double figures with 17 points in an win at Phoenix on May 12. In that contest, Seattle exploded for a edge in the fourth quarter and never looked back. The Storm s defense was key during the preseason, forcing 40 turnovers in the two games. NEW COACHES, NEW ERA On Oct. 4, 2017 the Storm announced that Dan Hughes, who sits third all-time in the WNBA for career wins and first in games, would become head coach in Seattle. Three months later, the franchise revealed that nine-year WNBA veteran Crystal Robinson would join the sidelines as an assistant. In addition to Hughes and Robinson, the coaching staff features Gary Kloppenburg, who has served as an assistant coach for the last two seasons, and Ryan Webb, who will oversee player development in HUGHES SELECTED ALL-STAR COACH Seattle Storm head coach Dan Hughes and Phoenix Mercury head coach Sandy Brondello have earned spots as the head coaches for Verizon WNBA All-Star Hughes and Brondello will be joined on the bench by their respective coaching staffs at the 15th WNBA All-Star Game, which will take place on Saturday, July 28 at Target Center in Minneapolis. With Seattle (15-6,.714) having clinched the best record in the WNBA through July 13, Hughes will coach the All-Star team captained by the highest vote-getter. Phoenix (14-7,.667) is guaranteed to have the second-best mark through July 13 after the Los Angeles Sparks loss to the Dallas Wings today. As a result, Brondello will guide the All-Star team captained by the second-highest vote-getter. Hughes, a two-time WNBA Coach of the Year (2001, 2007), has earned All- Star head coaching honors for the second time. As head coach of the San Antonio Stars, he led the Western Conference past the Eastern Conference in the 2009 All-Star Game in Connecticut. THREE POINT SPECIALISTS With 11 made three-pointers against Dallas on Aug 19, the Storm extended its WNBA record for three-pointers made in a regular season, finishing the year with 307 made three s (the previous record was 283.). Seattle broke the record in its second to last game against New York on Aug. 17.
