Absolutely horrid start for Seattle, but Phoenix didn't really take advantage of it. 7-0 lead was neutralized by 5 quick points from Clark. 12-10 at first media break. Neither Stewie or Loyd have scored yet, other 3 starters all have at least 1 bucket.

Seattle up 3 at the end of Q1. Not sure how. Not playing very well and Stewie hasn't gotten going yet. Sure seems like Phoenix should have a big lead in this game.

Loyd starting to feel it. 3-3 from the floor 8 points, quick TO by Phoenix in Q2 after falling behind by 9.

Whitcomb steals the inbound and gets a layup. I'm sure that's what Phoenix drew up in the timeout. :rolleyes:

Taurasi got away with about 4 reach ins on one possession. That's a whole 'nother level of blind by the refs there.

@baggerbob you watching this? Seattle running away 38-21. Looking better than the 5th best team in the league. Storm might not be quite as hapless without Bird as you thought.

42-23 Seattle at the half. 23-7 in Q2. Ouch!

12 for Loyd, 10 for Clark, 7 for Whitcomb.

8 for Griner, not getting much help.

Ragged start to Q3. About 5 missed layups in 2 minutes. Let's hit the fast forward button and get this one over with.

Not sure. Diana getting into the game and Stewie is out of sorts.

Is this a repeat of last game? Seattle kinda falling apart. Would be nice if Stewie got going, but not so much. Taurasi starting to feel it. Griner is really struggling since halftime. 47-33 midway thru Q3, Merc ball after media TO.

Stewie is really struggling when they double her today. Pretty much a TO every time.

Taurasi going off in Q3 but picked up her 4th foul and had to sit down.

That's more like it. 3 3's for Stewie, lead about back up to where it was at the half.

Loyd drills a 3 at the buzzer, 62-42 thru Q3.

Phoenix got within 13, but with a team that looks tired and a big deficit maybe Brondello will waive the white flag and go to the bench for Q4.

Langhorne, Tuck and Russell all on the floor together? What could possibly go wrong? :eek:

My eyes are bleeding. In 4 minutes of Q4 Phoenix on a 5-0 run. This is just so ugly. About hitting the fast forward button, now can we do it?

Uh oh. Looks like Taurasi knocked knees with Stewie, limped off the floor.

edit--nope, just a big collision, they're talking like she might've aggravated her back

What the hell? Lead is down to 5 w/ 34 seconds left. This 4th quarter by Seattle has been abysmal.

Refs giving Phoenix the whistle on every possession. That last one was ridiculous. Russell straight up, Cunningham hit her in the chest w/ a forearm, that's an obvious offensive foul. Except to this reffing crew.
