Teams Preview

Seattle Storm

The Seattle Storm endured a difficult outing in a 79-56 loss to the Dallas Wings, struggling to find offensive rhythm from start to finish.

Flau’jae Johnson was Seattle’s brightest performer, finishing with 16 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double. Natisha Hiedeman added 11 points, but the Storm lacked consistent scoring support.

Offensively, Seattle just shot 32.8% from the field, including a poor 21.1% from the three point line and 70.6% from the free throw line. Defensively, they were no better as they got outrebounded 48-36 on the boards and made multiple defensive lapses. They also committed 17 turnovers and 22 fouls, which proved costly down the stretch.

This loss extended their losing streak to three matches and is now 3-7 on the season. Overall, the team averages 83.5 points per game, while dishing out 14 assists. Defensively, they record 36.5 rebounds and allow opponents to just 79.5 points per game.  

Phoenix Mercury

The Phoenix Mercury suffered a heavy 111-77 defeat to the Minnesota Lynx, struggling on both ends of the floor as Phoenix extended its losing streak to six games. The Mercury fell behind early, trailing 35-22 after the first quarter, and were unable to recover after allowing 67 first half points, one of the highest first half totals surrendered in a road game in WNBA history.

Kahleah Copper led Phoenix with 18 points, while Noemie Brochant added 11 points and Monique Akoa Makani chipped in 10 points. Natasha Mack battled on the glass with a team-high 11 rebounds, but their efforts weren’t enough.

Offensively, Phoenix struggled, hitting just 34.4% from the field and 37% from the perimeter. Defensively, they got outrebounded 35-24 on the boards and allowed Minnesota to convert 63.8% from the field and 58.8% from the perimeter. They registered zero blocks and committed 14 turnovers, giving away key points off turnover.

This loss extended their losing streak to six matches and has now dropped to 2-8 on the season and continues to search for consistency after another difficult outing.
