The Seattle Storm (22 wins – 14 losses) are holding on to the Las Vegas Aces (23 wins – 13 losses) for fourth place in the standings, and therefore home-field advantage, in the first round of the playoffs.
However, it was not easy for Skylar Diggins-Smith (26 points, 5 assists, 4 interceptions) and his team against the Los Angeles Sparks (7 wins – 30 losses), the worst team of the season…
With a Jewell Loyd clumsy (12 points at 3/15 shooting), the Seattle Storm found itself trailing by 13 points (19-32) in the second quarter. The moment chosen by Gabby Williams to strike from afar and revive her team. The Blues player will score 13 of her 17 points in a second quarter that will wake up Seattle.
And while she had only scored two 3-point shots (out of 14 attempts) during her first seven matches of the season, the Franco-American will sign a 3/5 from afar against Los Angeles, at the best of times.
Enough to allow the Seattle Storm to get back on track offensively and finally win (90-82).
