The Seattle Storm beat the Atlanta Dream 105-90, never trailing en route to their second straight win. Flau'jae Johnson led Seattle with 24 points and 11 rebounds for a double-double. Awa Fam scored a career-high 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting. Natisha Hiedeman finished with 20 points and six assists, and Dominique Malonga added 16 points and 11 rebounds. The game was played on the Storm's Pride Night at Climate Pledge Arena. Ezi Magbegor and Jordan Horston are reported to be one to two weeks away from returning after right foot injuries, giving the Storm added depth soon.

Today I learned that the Valkyries have a fan group called the ValQueeries.

And they did! Second best sign in the crowd: “let’s go lesbians” (best sign was couple with a baby and a sign reading “Awa its my rookie season too”)

Hell, do it for Seattle ❤️

Pitch Mr. Perfect

@michaelwaterloo.bsky.social

This was absolutely FILTHY by Carla Leite. She sees the switch, backs it out, calls the ISO, waits for the space to be there, and goes deep in her bag with the ball on a string against Shakira Austin. Star is ascending. #WNBA

Across multiple OTs, Leite kept ending up with Austin defending her on the switch, and Baby Bird both got by Kira multiple times and nailed 3s in her face. Kira’s got 8” on her. (I’m more scared of Team France every day.)

I said it on the podcast this week, but it bears repeating: This Seattle team is fun as hell. And the potential is absolutely through the stratosphere. With most key players on rookie scale, they're cheap too. Free agent shopping is definitely possible if they want to accelerate the timeline. #WNBA

A joyous sight for Seattle Storm fans, Ezi Magbegor and Jordan Horston scrimmaging 5x5 after shootaround today. This was a first for Magbegor in several months. Both players are 1-2 weeks out from returning from right foot injuries. @theixsports.bsky.social
