Seattle opened the game shooting 44.4% from the field and banked 12 of its 23 quarter points in the paint. Forward Mackenzie Holmes powered the second quarter, setting a career-high 10 points on 100% (4-for-4) shooting from the field. Storm reserves scored 16 of the team’s 18 second quarter points. Seattle’s defense was spotlighted throughout the game as they held Connecticut to just 17 points in each of the last three quarters. The Storm’s 11-4 run late in the fourth quarter gave Seattle a three-point lead until the Sun ultimately took the 80-78 win.
