The Connecticut Sun W edged the Seattle Storm W, 80-78, in a tightly contested matchup decided by a two-point margin. Connecticut ultimately made enough plays down the stretch to secure the win, using efficient shooting and a strong rebounding advantage to hold off a Seattle side that stayed within striking distance throughout the game. Connecticut’s offense was balanced, with C. Leger-Walker scoring 16 points and both Burke Kennedy and N. Angloma adding 15 points. The Sun shot 27-for-52 from the field, good for 52.0%, and controlled the glass with 38 rebounds. That rebounding edge helped create extra possessions and limited Seattle’s ability to build momentum late. Seattle was led by N. Hiedeman, who finished with a game-high 20 points, while M. Holmes contributed 18 points. The Storm shot efficiently overall at 48.0% from the field, but their 6-for-23 performance from three-point range made it difficult to consistently close the gap. Seattle also finished with 26 rebounds, leaving Connecticut with a notable advantage inside. For Connecticut, the result reflects a composed late-game performance and the value of balanced scoring. For Seattle, the narrow loss showed competitive resilience, but the rebounding deficit and inconsistent perimeter shooting were costly in a game decided by a single possession.
