Stewart scores 28 to help Storm beat Sparks 83-80
SEATTLE (AP) --- Breanna Stewart scored 28 points on 11-of-20 shooting and the
Seattle Storm held on for an 83-80 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks on
Friday night.
Ezi Magbegor had nine points, 11 rebounds, three blocks and two steals. Jewell
Loyd added 11 points for the Storm (3-3) and has reached double-figure scoring
in 155 games since 2016 --- most in the WNBA.
Stephanie Talbot hit a 3-pointer to give Seattle, which never trailed, a 41-23
lead with 6:15 left in the second quarter. The Storm took a 16-point lead when
Sue Bird made a 3 early in the second half and it was 79-69 when Stewart made a
jumper with 3:27 to play.
Liz Cambage scored four points during an 8-0 run by the Sparks but Stewart
answered with a driving layup and, after Cambage slipped a pass between two
defenders to Nneka Ogwumike for an easy basket, Bird hit two free throws to
make it 83-79 with 45.5 seconds left.
Ogwumike missed a clean look at a potential tying corner 3 as time expired.
Cambage led Los Angeles with 25 points and eight rebounds. Ogwumike added 20
points and Brittney Sykes scored 10.
Seattle made 29 field goals and had 27 assists.
The Sparks (2-4) have lost four in a row after back-to-back wins to start the
season --- including 98-91 win over the Chicago Sky, the 2021 WNBA champions,
in the opener.
