[nwhoopfan]

Delle Donne leading all scorers w/ 17. Tolliver and Atkins both have 11.

Stewie leading the Storm w/ 16, Loyd has 11 (10 in Q3) and Clark and Howard both have 8.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stewie 3 puts Seattle back on top 63-61

 

[eebmg]

Stewie must lead them.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Game is frenetic and kinda sloppy at the moment. Stewie long pass down court to Whitcomb for a layup, Storm up by 4.

Bird picked up her 3rd foul and has been sitting for quite a while. Currently they've got momentum going without her.

 

[Kaizen]

Big come back from SEA, 65-61

 

[nwhoopfan]

Bird back in at 7:03 Storm up 2

 

[nwhoopfan]

and then she hits a desperation long 3 as the shot clock was expiring

I don't think she called bank!

 

[Kaizen]

What a shot from Sue.. awesome

 

[nwhoopfan]

couple assist opportunities for Bird squandered

Howard missed a contest layup late in the shot clock, then on a break 2 players both went for the pass and knocked it away from each other, out of bounds.

68-63 5:44 left

 

[eebmg]

This one looks like it is going to come down to the wire.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I think Bird just picked up her 4th foul on a screen

 

[nwhoopfan]

Nice hook shot from Stewie

70-65

 

[nwhoopfan]

Howard just blew a wide open layup

70-67

 

[nwhoopfan]

O board for Washington, get a put back. 70-69.

 

[nwhoopfan]

terrible possession for Seattle

 

[nwhoopfan]

FTs for Stewie

It's looking really ragged on the floor. Lots of contact, bodies on the floor everywhere.

 

[nwhoopfan]

72-69

 

[Kaizen]

Stewie 23 pts 7 rebs 3 asts

 

[nwhoopfan]

Looked like Ruffin-Pratt was trying to yank Stewie's right arm off.

 

[nwhoopfan]

72-71 1:12 left, Seattle ball.

 

[Mlb0814]

Lots not called. Ruffin-Pratt should have more fouls than she has.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Gut check time.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stewie draws a foul, going to the line.

Bird looks shaky dribbling the ball. This has not been a vintage game for her.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hits both 74-71 53.6 left.

Eddie Vedder in the house. So is Lisa Leslie.

 

[Kaizen]

Lots not called. Ruffin-Pratt should have more fouls than she has.

Yes the refs have problems for this game.
