Seattle is in the midst of the longest losing streak in franchise history, dropping 10 straight games. This was always going to be a transition year for the Storm with both Bird and Stewart leaving.

Jewel Loyd came to camp in shape and she’s in a great space mentally, physically and I think she’s really honed in on what it takes to perform.

Sue Bird was back at middle of the court during at times funny, at times emotional, Bird’s 21-year career with Seattle Storm received a ceremony that was highlighted with the retirement of the No. 10 she wore during her WNBA career.

Breanna Stewart had 25 points and 11 rebounds in her return to the Pacific Northwest and the New York Liberty beat the Seattle Storm 86-78.

Justin Faulk scored his second goal of the game at 2:50 of overtime and the St. Louis Blues beat the Seattle Kraken 4-3.

Sue Bird just knows how to win. That’s what she does. It’s what she has always done. Few in sports can rival the success the point guard has had in women’s basketball.

Sue Bird’s career came to an end as Chelsea Gray scored 15 of her 31 points in the fourth quarter, and the Las Vegas Aces advanced to the WNBA Finals with a 97-92 win over the Seattle Storm.

A’ja Wilson had 33 points and 12 rebounds to help the Las Vegas Aces beat the Seattle Storm 78-73 in Game 2 of the semifinals and even the WNBA playoff series.

The Storm won the last meeting 76-73 on Aug. 28 led by 26 points from Jewell Loyd, while Chelsea Gray scored 21 points for the Aces.

Jewell Loyd scored 26 points, including Seattle’s final six, and the Storm edged the Aces 76-73 on Sunday to take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series
