ATLANTA Seattle 86, Atlanta, 73 - KeyArena, Seattle, Wash. (7/18/15) The Storm used a strong first quarter to set the pace and led by as many as 20 as it cruised to the 86-73 win over Atlanta on Saturday night. It is the first time this season the Storm has won consecutive games and will go for three straight on Tuesday when it takes on New York. It took a while for the Storm (5-12) to gets its first bucket but once one went in, nearly all of them began to fall. With 7:50 in the first, Tokashiki dribbled to the middle of the lane and hit the fade away jumper to tie the game at two. On the next trip down, Alysha Clark drilled a three from the left wing to go ahead 5-2. The buckets, along with three Atlanta turnovers, sparked a 14-0 run where Seattle went 5-for-6 from the field, including six from Clark. The Storm shot 61.1 percent from the field on the opening period. Clark scored a career-high 14 points on 4-for-7 from the field. Atlanta (7-9) struggled to take care of the ball in the second and committed eight turnovers, which resulted in nine Seattle points, and the Storm eventually took a 19-point lead. Sue Bird was a constant presence during the run and finished with nine points and 12 assists, two off tying her career high. The Storm had a season-high 25 assists for the game and scored 23 points off the 19 Atlanta turnovers. Angel McCoughtry, who scored eight points in the half, was responsible for six of the Dream s 12 first half miscues. Tokashiki hit two straight jumpers to begin the third and they gave Seattle a 17-point advantage. She chipped in 14 points on 6-for-9 from the field. Seattle shot 56.9 percent from the field and scored 40 of the 86 in the paint. Atlanta fired back and McCoughtry led the charge, including six of her 16 points, during a 8-3 run to cut the Seattle lead to 12 but an 8-0 run capped by a pair of free throws from Jewell Loyd gave the Storm the 63-43 lead. The Dream got as close as 12 in the fourth quarter but was unable to complete the comeback. Atlanta, who came in as the fourth best rebounding team in the league at 35.9 per contest, was kept off the boards in large part due to Langhorne, who finished the half with 10 points and seven rebounds. The Dream was outrebounded 15-12 in the first half. She finished with 10 points and nine rebounds.

Both teams struggled entering the third quarter and only one point was scored in the first 4:30 of the quarter but then Jewell Loyd hit a pair of free throws to cut the Atlanta lead to 36-30. After a layup and free throw from Ramu Tokashiki cut the deficit to seven, Atlanta outscored Seattle 13-6 to end the period and took a 14-point lead into the fourth. Seattle broke out in the fourth and went on a 9-2 run capped off by two straight buckets from Alysha Clark to cut the lead to 55-48. Later in the quarter, it was Clark again when Crystal Langhorne found her cutting to the basket for the bucket and the foul. Clark converted and she made it a 61-55 game. Two possessions later, Sue Bird pulled up for the jumper and hit to cut the deficit to four. The 14-year veteran scored 11 points with five assists. McCoughtry hit a pair of free throws to extend the Atlanta lead and then Bird found Langhorne at the basket for the layup just before the shot clock expired, pushing it back to four. On the next possession, Bird found Clark on the left wing and she drilled the three to make it a 63-62 game with 2:11 to go. Clark scored 10 of her 11 points in the fourth quarter to go along with four rebounds and three assists. Seattle shot 66 percent from the field in the final period. But Seattle continued to struggle to find an answer for McCoughtry and she scored on two straight possessions, giving the Dream a 68-62 lead with 1:13 left. She had a game-high 23 points. A jumper from Loyd cut it back to four but Seattle committed two turnovers in the final minute of play and it resulted in four free throws to put the game away. The Storm will pick it up again on Wednesday when it takes on Indiana at 9 a.m. PT., ending the Storm s threegame road swing. The Storm struggled early and missed six of its first seven shots and trailed 14-5 in the first quarter but then Seattle started to find a rhythm. Tokashiki, who had just checked in the game, found Loyd for the alley-oop layup to cut it a seven-point game. It jump started a 9-2 run to end the quarter. Loyd had a team-high 12 points. Much like the the first quarter, Atlanta got off to a good start in the second and rode back-to-back threes from McCoughtry to a 10-2 run to take a 26-16 lead. After shooting only 27.8 percent in the first quarter, Atlanta hit 56.3 percent (9-for-16) of its shots in the second. Loyd provided a jolt towards the end of the half as she scored four straight points as Seattle went into the break trailing 36-27. Loyd had a team-best six points in the half.

LAST GAME Seattle 98, Connecticut 81 - KeyArena, Seattle, Wash. (6/24/16) Rookie forward Breanna Stewart tied her season high with 29 points, and the Seattle Storm snapped a three-game losing streak by defeating the Connecticut Sun 98-81 on Friday at KeyArena. Stewart also recorded nine rebounds, six assists, three steals and three blocks as the Storm improved to 5-9 on the season. Since the opening minutes of the first quarter, the Storm held a double-digit lead the entire game. Seattle shot 61.4 percent from the floor Friday night its highest field-goal percentage of the season while holding Connecticut to 37.6 percent. Stewart reached 20 points for the third consecutive game, while three other Storm starters scored at least 15. Sue Bird and Jewell Loyd finished with 19 apiece, while Crystal Langhorne had 15. Stewart, now averaging 26.3 points on 64.9 percent shooting in her last three games, tied yet another franchise rookie record in Friday night s game. By making five shots from beyond the arc all of them came in the first half Stewart tied the record for three-pointers in a game. Stewart s first four shots were jumpers including three from beyond the arc and she made all four of them to help the Storm take a 30-16 lead after one quarter. Seattle shot 13-of-17 en route to its second-highest scoring quarter of the season. The Storm cooled off to start the second period, but once Stewart and Loyd re-entered the game at the 7:48 mark, Seattle started to pick up the pace. Stewart made two more shots from long distance shortly after checking in, and the reigning Rookie of the Month finished with 19 points in the first half. It wasn t just Stewart collectively the Storm made 8-of-12 three-pointers in the first half. It was the Storm shighest-scoring half of the season, as the club shot 70 percent from the field. Bird was a major reason for the scoring outburst, as she dished out seven first-half assists with zero turnovers. Stewart finally missed a three-pointer, yet she continued to score in a variety of ways, going 4-of-4 from the free throw line in the quarter. Rookie Morgan Tuck, a former college teammate of Stewart, guided the Sun on an 8-0 run to trim the margin to 11 late in the quarter. Stewart found Langhorne for back-to-back layups and then another one to Loyd to help Seattle increase its advantage to 20 again. The Sun (3-11) was led by guard Alex Bentley, who scored a team-high 13 points on 5-of-15 shooting.

The Storm, on just two days of rest after the road trip, drops to 4-9 on the season, while the Lynx extend their record-breaking undefeated start to 12 games. Rookie forward Breanna Stewart paced the Storm with 21 points and nine rebounds, while Jewell Loyd added 20 points and a career-high seven assists. Minnesota, which leads the WNBA with 87.8 points per game, was paced by the 18 points of former MVP Maya Moore. The Lynx dominated on the glass Sunday night, outrebounding Seattle 35-21. They were also bolstered by the production of their bench, which tallied 38 points to Seattle s 10. It was Minnesota s eighth win by a double-digit margin this season. The Storm jumped out to a 16-8 lead behind three jump shots from Sue Bird and two from Loyd, as Seattle shot 7-of-8 from the field in the first four minutes of the game. The edge was increased to double digits at 22-12, but the Lynx trimmed their deficit to just three by the end of the first quarter. Janel McCarville came off the bench and made all three of her midrange jump shots to help Minnesota go on an 11-4 run to close out the period. Minnesota quickly overcame its deficit to take the lead, 32-30, after Moore scored three baskets in the first two minutes of the second quarter. The Lynx increased their lead to double digits, 44-34, with 4:20 to go in the half, capping off a 12-2 spurt with a Sylvia Fowles layup in transition. The Storm kept it close thanks to Loyd, who had a productive first half with 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting and six assists. The Lynx led 53-46 at the break after both teams shot better than 54 percent from the field. Stewart picked up her third foul with five minutes to go in the second, and she sat on the bench for the remainder of the half. Bird drained two consecutive three-pointers to start the second half, helping the Storm come back to tie the game at 55. But Moore guided Minnesota to a timely 16-3 run, and the Lynx never relinquished the lead from there. Ahead 77-63 heading into the fourth quarter, Minnesota maintained a double-digit lead throughout the final period despite 10 points from Stewart.The Storm is now 0-2 this year against Minnesota, with two road games vs. the Lynx still to come. The Lynx defeated Seattle 77-70 on May 22 despite a then-career high 20 points from Alysha Clark.

TONIGHT S OPPONENT Seattle 86, Atlanta, 73 - KeyArena, Seattle, Wash. (7/18/15) The Storm used a strong first quarter to set the pace and led by as many as 20 as it cruised to the 86-73 win over Atlanta on Saturday night. It is the first time this season the Storm has won consecutive games and will go for three straight on Tuesday when it takes on New York. It took a while for the Storm (5-12) to gets its first bucket but once one went in, nearly all of them began to fall. With 7:50 in the first, Tokashiki dribbled to the middle of the lane and hit the fade away jumper to tie the game at two. On the next trip down, Alysha Clark drilled a three from the left wing to go ahead 5-2. The buckets, along with three Atlanta turnovers, sparked a 14-0 run where Seattle went 5-for-6 from the field, including six from Clark. The Storm shot 61.1 percent from the field on the opening period. Clark scored a career-high 14 points on 4-for-7 from the field. Atlanta (7-9) struggled to take care of the ball in the second and committed eight turnovers, which resulted in nine Seattle points, and the Storm eventually took a 19-point lead. Sue Bird was a constant presence during the run and finished with nine points and 12 assists, two off tying her career high. The Storm had a season-high 25 assists for the game and scored 23 points off the 19 Atlanta turnovers. Angel McCoughtry, who scored eight points in the half, was responsible for six of the Dream s 12 first half miscues. Tokashiki hit two straight jumpers to begin the third and they gave Seattle a 17-point advantage. She chipped in 14 points on 6-for-9 from the field. Seattle shot 56.9 percent from the field and scored 40 of the 86 in the paint. Atlanta fired back and McCoughtry led the charge, including six of her 16 points, during a 8-3 run to cut the Seattle lead to 12 but an 8-0 run capped by a pair of free throws from Jewell Loyd gave the Storm the 63-43 lead. The Dream got as close as 12 in the fourth quarter but was unable to complete the comeback. Atlanta, who came in as the fourth best rebounding team in the league at 35.9 per contest, was kept off the boards in large part due to Langhorne, who finished the half with 10 points and seven rebounds. The Dream was outrebounded 15-12 in the first half. She finished with 10 points and nine rebounds.

PLAYER NOTES JEWELL S A GEM When the Seattle Storm and Phoenix Mercury met for the first time this year on May 20, Jewell Loyd scored a career-high 30 points, including the game-winning jumper that gave Seattle an 81-80 victory. On June 3 at KeyArena, Loyd once again posted a new career high against Phoenix, notching 32 points to guide the Storm to a 95-81 win. Loyd, who reached the 500-point milestone on June 3, became the third player in franchise history to score 30 on multiple occasions. It was the most points scored by a Storm player since Lauren Jackson posted 33 in 2010 against Phoenix. Loyd, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year finished 12-of-18 from the field and 4-for-7 from three-point range, scoring 19 in the first half alone. It was her fourth 20-point game of the year, and the Notre Dame product also set career highs with nine rebounds and five offensive boards. 20+ CLUB CRYSTAL CLEAR In the season opener against Los Angeles, Seattle had two players score 20-plus points: Reigning Rookie of the Year Jewell Loyd had 20 on 6-of-14 shooting, while 2016 No. 1 draft pick Breanna Stewart notched a team-high 23 points on 9-of-13 from the field. Only once in 2015 did the Storm have two players score at least 20 points. With Loyd notching a career-high 32 points against Phoenix, Alysha Clark scoring a career-high 23 vs. New York and Sue Bird notching 24 at Connecticut, Seattle has had four different 20-point scorers and four different leading scorers in 14 games. Crystal Langhorne also came close with 18 in a game. Sunday s game against Minnesota marked the 10th contest out of 14 in which four Storm players reached double figures. STEWART CLAIMS ROOKIE OF THE MONTH Storm rookie forward Breanna Stewart was named the WNBA Rookie of the Month presented by Samsung for games played in May. In May, Stewart led all rookies in points (17.4 ppg), rebounds (8.8 rpg) and blocks (2.0 bpg) and was second in assists (2.4 apg) in five games. She tied for third among all WNBA players in rebounds and blocks and ranked 10th in points while equaling the league high in minutes (36.2 mpg). Stewart scored in double digits every night and recorded a pair of double-doubles as Seattle won two of its five games in May. WNBA 20@20 UNVEILED In celebration of the WNBA s landmark 20th season, the league unveiled the 20 greatest and most influential players in its history with its announcement of the WNBA Top 20@20 presented by Verizon. Storm point guard Sue Bird, now in her 15th WNBA season, was honored as one of the 20 players. The list includes nine current players: Bird, Swin Cash, Seimone Augustus, Tamika Catchings, Maya Moore, Candace Parker, Cappie Pondexter, Diana Taurasi and Lindsay Whalen. Storm legend Lauren Jackson is one of 11 former players. The players were selected based on factors like on-court performance and ability, leadership and sportsmanship, as well as contributions to team success. SHE S A THIEF Now in her 15th season in the WNBA, Sue Bird is ninth in career steals with 560. She averages 1.3 steals per game for her career, which included one season missed due to injury. In eight of the 13 years she played, Bird recorded 1.4 or more steals per contest. Her 558 career steals rank fifth among active players, and there s a good chance she moves up two spots on the all-time list this year. RK. NAME STEALS 6 Taj McWilliams-Franklin (Ret.) 580 7 Jia Perkins (MIN) 575 8 Tully Bevilaqua (Ret.) 573 9 Sue Bird (SEA) 560 10 Yolanda Griffith (Ret.) 529 MIGHT WANT TO GUARD HER Crystal Langhorne sits in fourth all-time on the WNBA s FG% charts. A career 56.1% shooter, Langhorne has led the Storm in scoring since joining the team and in consecutive seasons (2014, 2015). RK.

Langhorne had a game-high eight rebounds and the second-most points in the game, and her 18 points featured her seventh career three-pointer and first since 2014. While going 8-for-8 is certainly an outlier, Langhorne is no stranger to being the most efficient player on the floor. Her career average of 56.1 percent shooting ranks fourth in WNBA history, and she s been in the league s top five in that category every year since joining Seattle. MULTI-30+ GAMES IN A SINGLE SEASON In the 2016 season, Jewell Loyd has put up 30+ points in a single game twice. Three-time MVP Lauren Jackson is the only other player in a Storm jersey to accomplish this feat, which she has done in 6 seasons (2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010). Jackson s single-season best was in 2007, when she passed the mark 9 times, including her 47-point outburst on July 24, 2007 at Washington in an overtime contest, a then-wnba single-game scoring record. Jackson would go on to win WNBA MVP honors that season. TRIPLE-DOUBLE WATCH... Breanna Stewart nearly became the youngest and fastest player in WNBA history to record a triple-double with her 14-point, 10-rebound, 9-assist effort on 6/3/16 vs. Phoenix. The evening did mark her third double-double of her short career, just seven games in. Should she accomplish the feat, she will join elite company. There have been just five triple-doubles in WNBA history. ONE OF THE ALL-TIME BEST DISHIN THE ROCK Sue Bird is just 304 assists shy of tying Ticha Penicheiro (2,599) on the WNBA all-time assist rankings. She boasts a 5.4 assist per game career average, sitting in second place on the all-time list. The 2015 season saw Bird fall just.4 assists per game short of leading the league in the category (Courtney Vandersloot, 5.8 apg, 2015). RK.

PLAYER NOTES RETIRING #15 On Friday, July 15, when Seattle takes on the Washington Mystics, the Storm will officially retire the No. 15 of former star center Lauren Jackson. After announcing her retirement in March, Jackson will make the trip from Australia to Seattle that week and be honored in a ceremony at the game. Jackson, a three-time WNBA MVP, is the Storm s all-time leading scorer and rebounder. She played all of her 12 WNBA seasons in Seattle, starting 358 total games and guiding the Storm to championships in 2004 and 2010. Jackson ranks seventh alltime in scoring (6,007 points), ninth in rebounds (2,447) and third in blocks (586). Her 2007 campaign was the most decorated season by an individual in league history: MVP, scoring champion, rebounding champion and Defensive Player of the Year. She is one of two players in WNBA history to lead the league in both scoring and rebounding in the same season. When the Storm defeated Atlanta to win the 2010 title, Jackson was named Finals MVP. A perennial All-Star, Jackson finished with career averages of 18.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game. She averaged more than 20 points per game in five different seasons, including three years in which Jackson led the WNBA in scoring (2003, 04, 07). On the international stage, Jackson guided the Australian National Team to medals at four consecutive Olympic Games. HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF Seattle owned the No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft for the second straight year, the second time a WNBA team has selected first back-toback years. After doing so in 2001 and 2002, the Storm won its first WNBA title within three seasons. Including Lauren Jackson and Sue Bird, seven of the players taken No. 1 overall in the WNBA Draft between 2001 and 2013 have won at least one title. In the NBA, having backto-back top picks has proven to deliver even quicker success: All three times NBA franchises have chosen first overall in consecutive years since 1965, they made the NBA finals within two seasons (Orlando Magic 1992-93, Houston Rockets 1983-84, Cleveland Cavaliers 2013-14). CLARK TAKES CHARGE Alysha Clark scored 23 points on 7-of-7 shooting against New York on June 5, marking a new career high for the veteran forward after she had scored 20 against Minnesota earlier this season. Clark, who returned to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in the previous game due to a knee bruise, was 5-for-5 in the first half to lead Seattle with 14 points. In her fifth year with Seattle, Clark is averaging 9.4 points per game on 50 percent shooting and 40.6 percent from three-point range. She has recorded the first two 20-point outings of her career, and in a five-game stretch, she put up 13.8 points per night on 61.8 percent shooting. Among players averaging at least 15 minutes per game, Clark has the highest true shooting and effective field goal percentages in the WNBA for the second straight season. PICKING UP THE PACE In 2015, Crystal Langhorne led the Storm in scoring with 11.1 points per game as the team finished 10-24. Fourteen games into this season, Seattle has three players averaging better than 13 points per contest (Breanna Stewart 17.6; Jewell Loyd 17.3; and Sue Bird 13.7). As a team, the Storm has also increased its average scoring output from 70.4 points per game in 2014 to 81.3 this year and its field goal percentage from 43.4 to 46.3 percent. Five different players are averaging better than nine points for the first time since 2013. GUARD THE JEWELL OR JEWELL THE GUARD? TIPOFF QUEEN Other than May 20 against the Phoenix Mercury, Storm rookie forward Breanna Stewart has controlled every opening tipoff so far this season. Stewart, the 6-4 product of Connecticut who was selected No. 1 overall in the 2016 WNBA Draft, is aided on opening tipoffs by her 7-1 wingspan. On June 19 against Minnesota, opposing center Sylvia Fowles didn t even attempt to get the opening tip vs. Stewart. BOSS OF THE BOARDS On June 5 against New York, Storm rookie Breanna Stewart pulled down a career-high 17 rebounds, toppling the previous franchise rookie record ([13, Lauren Jackson, 7/27/01, vs. Phoenix] and Stewart [13, 2 times]) and setting a new 2016 league-wide single-game high. Fourteen games into her rookie season, Stewart is second in the league with 9.6 rebounds per game, and she has recorded a double-double with points and rebounds in five of her 14 appearances. BIRD: WISEST OWL OF THEM ALL By the numbers, 35-year-old point guard Sue Bird has been even more dominant this year than her previous seasons. Her 13.7 points per game are the two-time champion s most since 2011, while her 5.6 assists per contest are the most since the 2010 title-winning season. Her 85.3 percent shooting from the free throw line is a personal best since 2011, while her 48.9 percent overall shooting and 44.3 percent from the three-point line are the highest of her entire career. On June 19 against Minnesota, Storm second-year guard Jewell Loyd matched her career high of six assists in the first half, finishing the night with a new personal best of seven dimes and just two turnovers in 38 minutes. Not a point guard for the vast majority of her basketball career, Loyd has shown the ability to be a playmaker in her second WNBA season. She s dished out five or more assists on four occasions, increasing her average from 1.9 assists per game last year to 2.7 this season. Loyd has also increased her scoring from 10.7 points per game to 17.3, and her three-point shooting percentage from 20.8 to 29.0. #CLUTCH On June 12 against Indiana, Jewell Loyd scored 16 points in the second half, including the go-ahead free throws with 2.4 seconds remaining, to guide the Storm to a 90-88 win. It marked the second time this season that Loyd has scored the game-winning points in the final seconds. Loyd was fouled while attempting a shot from the right baseline on the fast break, and she drained both free throws to put Seattle ahead. She also hit a midrange jumper on the previous possession when the Storm was down one. On May 21, Loyd hit the game-winning shot with 2.9 seconds remaining to give Seattle an 81-80 win over Phoenix. Before her game-winner in the final seconds, Loyd also hit a crucial jumper with 41.9 seconds left to bring the Storm within one at 80-79. She scored the final 10 points for Seattle, finishing the fourth quarter with 12 on 6-of-7 field goals. STEWART S STORM During a historic, unprecedented career at Connecticut, Breanna Stewart won four consecutive national championships and guided the Huskies to a pair of perfect seasons (2013-14 and 2015-16). She was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four in all four of her team s title runs and won AP Player of the Year three straight seasons. A four-year starter at Connecticut, Stewart becomes the fifth Husky to be selected with the top pick in the WNBA draft. She finished her college career with a 151-5 record after leading the Huskies in scoring for the past three seasons. During her senior year, Stewart averaged 19.4 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.4 blocks per game while shooting 57.9 percent from the field and 42.6 percent from the 3-point line. Stewart is the only player in Division I women s basketball history to record 300 blocks and 300 assists in her career. At the 2013 Final Four, she became the first freshman in 26 years to earn the tournament s Most Outstanding Player award. Stewart has also played for the United States National Team, helping the USA win gold at the 2014 FIBA World Championship.

TEAM NOTES #ROADTORIO On Wednesday, April 27, the USA Women s Basketball Team 12-athlete roster for the 2016 Olympics was named. Sue Bird was named to her fourth Olympic team, going for her fourth Gold medal. Storm rookie Breanna Stewart was also named to the team. This is the first time in Storm history that the active roster had two members on an Olympic roster. Stewart and Bird won a gold medal together at the 2014 FIBA World Championships. OFFENSIVE TAKEOVER On Friday, June 24 against the Connecticut Sun, Seattle exploded for its best offensive outing of the season. In the victory, the Storm set season highs in points (98), field goals (35), field goal percentage (61.4) margin of victory (17) and points in a half (56). Led by the 29 points of Breanna Stewart, Seattle never trailed in the game and held its largest lead of the season (25) in the third quarter. Since the opening minutes of the first quarter, the Storm held a double-digit lead the entire game. It marked the 10th game out of the first 14 in which four Storm players reached double figures. AMONG LEAGUE LEADERS Fourteen games into the season, Seattle has several players among the WNBA leaders in the main offensive categories. Rookie forward Breanna Stewart is second in the league with 9.6 rebounds per game and fourth with 2.0 blocks per game. Sue Bird leads the league with 5.6 assists per game, while Stewart ranks eighth with 17.6 points per game and Jewell Loyd ranks ninth with 17.3. Stewart, Loyd and Bird are all in the top seven in minutes with averages of more than 33 per game. Here is where Stewart ranks among rookies: first in points (17.6), first in rebounds (9.6), second in assists (3.1), fourth in steals (1.2) and first in blocks (2.0). She was named WNBA Rookie of the Month for May. WELCOME *BACK TO SEATTLE During the weekend of June 25-26, the Storm completed a pair of transactions that saw guard Noelle Quinn and center Krystal Thomas return to the team s roster. In a trade for Quinn, Seattle sent the rights to Angel Robinson to Phoenix. Robinson appeared in 25 games in 2014, her only season in Seattle. Quinn played for the Storm during the 2013 and 2014 seasons before signing with Phoenix prior to the 2015 campaign. Averaging 5.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game for her career, Quinn has played in all 34 games in five seasons, including 2015 with the Mercury. Thomas, signed as a free agent after being released by the Storm in May, was drafted by Seattle in the third round (36th overall) of the 2011 WNBA Draft. In separate moves, Seattle waived guard Blake Dietrick and center Markeisha Gatling. BOUCEK BACK FOR YEAR 2 SUN WINS IN FINAL SECONDS...AGAIN When the Storm played at Connecticut in 2015, Sun forward Shekinna Stricklen scored off a rebound with 8.2 seconds left to give the host team a one-point victory. June 10th at Mohegan Sun Arena, the exact same sequence occurred, except this time it was Alyssa Thomas who scored the game-winning putback. Thomas scored the final four points of the contest, including a game-winning layup with less than one second remaining, to sink the Storm 77-76. Thomas first knocked down two free throws to make it 76-75 in favor of the Storm with 33 seconds to go. Bird then missed a jumper late in the shot clock, and Connecticut called timeout with 8.8 seconds on the game clock. Thomas scored on a putback of Camille Little s miss with 0.6 seconds remaining to clinch the win for Connecticut. Now in her fifth season as a WNBA head coach and second with the Seattle Storm, Jenny Boucek is tasked with guiding the Storm back to the playoffs for the first time since 2013. The club was 10-24 this past season, finishing four games out of the playoff race. Prior to taking over as head coach in Seattle last year, Boucek held the same role for the now-defunct Sacramento Monarchs from 2007-09. She was an assistant coach in Seattle from 2003-05 and 2010-14 Boucek was around for both of the team s WNBA titles before being promoted to head coach. The Storm made improvements in a few different areas after Boucek took over, namely on the defensive end. Seattle s opponents scored just 7.1 fast break points per game last season, good for second in the WNBA. The Storm also allowed just 30.5 points in the paint on average, the fourth best mark in the league. IT S RAINING IN SEATTLE In 2015, 23.8 percent of the shots Seattle took were three-pointers, one of the highest marks in the WNBA. That percentage was even higher during the previous five seasons, when the Storm was always either first or second in the category. This year could be similar, as 10 of the 12 players on Seattle s roster have proven to be threats from three-point range. Through 14 games of the 2016 season, 274 of Seattle s 859 (31.9 percent) of Seattle s shots have been three-pointers. The Storm ranks second in the league with 19.6 attempted per game, and eighth with a 32.8 percent conversion rate. STEWART SETTLING IN After making less than 30 percent of her shots in a five-game stretch, Storm rookie forward Breanna Stewart has found her touch in the last three outings. The reigning Rookie of the Month scored 20-plus points in all three games, averaging 26.3 points on 64.9 percent shooting. Against the Sun, she tied yet another franchise rookie record by making five shots from beyond the arc. All of them came in the first half, as Stewart tied the record for three-pointers in a game.
