INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jewell Loyd scored 20 points, including two free throws with 2.4 seconds to play, and the Seattle Storm beat the Indiana Fever 90-88 on Sunday night.

Crystal Langhorne added 17 points, Sue Bird had 16, and Jenna O'Hea scored 10 for the Storm (4-6). Rookie Breanna Stewart had seven points, five rebounds, six assists and three blocked shots.

Loyd hit a jumper that gave Seattle an 88-87 lead with 23 seconds to play. After Shenise Johnson made the first and missed the second of two free throws on the other end, Loyd grabbed the rebound, dribbled down court and drew a foul setting up her winning foul shots.
