Connecticut Sun at Seattle Storm
· Women's National Basketball AssociationStorm overcome sloppy start, use strong 4th quarter to top Sun 79-65
Williams' shot gave the Storm (13-8) a 63-62 lead and started a 19-3 game-ending run. The Storm outscored the Sun 24-13 in the fourth quarter.
Nneka Ogwumike chipped in 16 points while Skylar Diggins and Ezi Magbegor each added 14 points for Seattle.
Tina Charles led Connecticut (3-17) with 20 points. Saniya Rivers had 12 points while Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Leila Lacan scored 10 each.
The strong finish was needed considering the Storm got off to a slow start. Seattle trailed 16-10 after the first quarter thanks to a sloppy shooting. The Storm converted just 23.5% of their shots in the opening frame while Connecticut forward Charles scored eight of her 20 points in the quarter.
The Storm chipped away at their deficit, and even took a 29-28 lead at the 1:57 mark in the second quarter on a 14-foot jump shot from Erica Wheeler. The teams traded the lead for much of the second and third quarters before Seattle pulled away in the fourth.
