Epic 4th quarter collapse by Minnesota?

The Storm's bench isn't gonna get scapegoated this time. Canada w/ 15 and Dupree 10.

McBride and Powers were poor at best but Reeves locked into them as GM. Probably will rue letting Sims go . Fowles looks great and Dangerfield finally played like she could. I think being put on the bench lit a fire under Crystal. Will be very surprised if she does not start from now on. Dantes disappeared after a quick start. Guessing Napheesa and Jessica make it into the starting lineup quickly and work their magic.

Massive comeback by Seattle. Is Loyd a contender for the Olympic team? She's playing like a legitimate MVP candidate to start the year.

I can see Jewell as a Team USA member based on her development in the last 2 years.

Another shootout. Leading Dallas 27-23 after Q1. They can score, they just can't stop their opponents from doing the same (well except that 2nd half against Minnesota).

Still not much D. 45-44 Wings at the half. Stewie has 15, Loyd 8. Mabrey is lighting it up w/ 16 and Arike has 10.

Storm need more from some combination of Dupree, Magbegor and Russell. 4 pts. total, all from Candice, but she keeps missing bunnies. Ezi has had zero impact in limited minutes so far.

They wasted a contract on Dupree, better to go with Ezi and Russell. At 36 Dupree doesn't do anything well anymore.

Very close game, 52 - 53.
Number 1 draft Charli Collier is not very impressive, 8 mins, 2 pts, 0 rebs.

Magbegor hasn't played in the 2nd half. Did I miss something about an injury?

What is Seattle doing? Several shot clock violations and a couple other terrible shots just before the clock expired. 5 point lead is gone, tied up, Dallas ball w/ about 45 seconds left.

edit--Dallas up 2; Seattle has not played well down the stretch.

Dupree needs to sit, she brings absoululy nothing to the team. Not a good defender, rebounder, passer, or scorer. She isn't going to improve at her age, so sit her and play Russell, and Ezi.
The team needs to get better, as long as Dupree is taking valuable minutes Seattle Will struggle. Admit you made a mistake in bringing her in and work to get better.

I wasn't thrilled w/ that move either, and I'm not really a fan of keeping Prince on the roster.

Dupree does have 8 pts/8 rebounds today. Russell 6 boards but no buckets. Something must be up w/ Ezi. She played 6 minutes in the first half, did absolutely nothing, hasn't been seen in the 2nd half.

OT has been great, just trading buckets. Big shot after big shot.

Storm up 1 and Arike just got called for an offensive foul!

Breanna and Jewell combine for 61 pts of the 100. Good win by Storm.

100-97 final Storm win. Canada got the bucket that forced OT, drew a big foul on Arike late, hit a pair of FTs to extend the lead to 3, and then defended the shooter twice in the closing seconds that didn't go in for Dallas for the tie. 14 pts/5 assists, she was big in this game.

Stewie w/ 36, looks like an MVP. Loyd w/ another great game, 25 pts.
