Seattle Storm cruise past Atlanta Dream in regular-season game

sportsJun 28, 202636444

Flau'jae Johnson scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and Awa Fam had a career-high 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting as the Seattle Storm beat the Atlanta Dream 105-90, never trailing in the game. Natisha Hiedeman added 20 points and six assists, while Dominique Malonga contributed 16 points and 11 rebounds in Seattle's second straight win. The game was played on the Storm's Pride night, and Atlanta entered the matchup after a heavy stretch that included back-to-back losses and travel, a factor some observers cited for the Dream appearing fatigued. Seattle's young core, Johnson, Fam, and Malonga, drew praise for growing chemistry and interior scoring that could make the Storm tougher to match up with going forward. Ezi Magbegor and Jordan Horston were reported practicing 5-on-5 after shootaround and are each about one to two weeks from returning from right foot injuries, offering potential depth for upcoming games.

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”)

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

The Atlanta Dream have had a rough and exhausting few days. Two narrow defeats to the Golden State Valkyries one day apart. Then immediately after the 2nd defeat, the Dream have to fly to Seattle and play the Storm tonight. They're gonna need those 4 days off until July 2 badly!😊🏀😸 #WNBA

I said this a couple days ago but the Seattle Storm are about to put the league on notice. These past couple games you see how they’re finally stringing it together.
