Then Briann January, who had the first six points in Indiana's rally, had her shot blocked by Stewart. Seattle made six free throws in the final 22 seconds to secure the win.
Langhorne finished with 17 points and Stewart 15 for Seattle, ranked fifth in the AP preseason poll.
Shenise Johnson had 24 points and January 23 in the first game for the Fever, ranked seventh.
Indiana was 9 of 17 behind the arc but Seattle made 24 of 27 from the line for an 11-point advantage. The Storm had 21 turnovers, giving them 44 in two games as star point guard Sue Bird missed her second straight game with a knee issue.
