Game Recap
Seattle Storm W defeated Portland W 91-81, using a stronger overall offensive performance and a clear advantage on the glass to secure the 10-point win. Seattle finished with 43 rebounds compared with Portland’s 32, a margin that helped the Storm create extra possessions and control key stretches of the game.
F. Johnson led Seattle with 20 points, providing the Storm’s most productive scoring effort. Malonga Dominique added 10 points, while Stefanie Dolson and L. Brown each contributed 6 points. Seattle also made 9 three-pointers on 31 attempts, giving the team enough perimeter production to complement its rebounding edge.
Portland stayed competitive with 16 assists, matching Seattle’s total, and connected on 6 of 23 attempts from three-point range. However, the difference in rebounding and Seattle’s ability to generate more scoring separation proved decisive over the course of the matchup.
Going forward, Seattle can build on a balanced team effort highlighted by rebounding, perimeter shooting volume, and Johnson’s scoring. Portland will look to tighten its work on the boards and improve efficiency from beyond the arc after falling short despite comparable ball movement.
