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.
Brittney Sykes scored 26 points and the short-handed Washington Mystics beat the Seattle Storm 93-86 Tuesday night despite a record-tying nine 3-pointers from Jewell Loyd.
Natasha Cloud and Ariel Atkins combined for 31 points, as the Washington Mystics nearly blew a 28-point lead before holding on for a 71-65 win over the Seattle Storm.
“We control our own destiny,” New York Liberty's Brondello said Monday after practice. “We are just going to take it one game at a time and see where we end up.”
