Seattle Storm

The Seattle Storm are coming off of three consecutive losses, the most recent one against the New York Liberty, who trounced the Storm by a final score of 81-66.

The team got another excellent performance from lead scorer Jewell Loyd, who played for 38 minutes and scored 27 points and got 4 rebounds. She’s been averaging 25.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game this year. The Storm are also getting consistent play from Ezi Magbegor, who averages 14.9 points and 8.6 rebounds per matchup.

Offensively, Seattle isn’t great, averaging 79.4 points per game which ranks them at ninth in the WNBA, however, on defence, this is the second worst team in the league, allowing 86 points per contest.

Connecticut Sun

The 12-5 Sun are also coming off of a loss, but to the best team in the WNBA – the Las Vegas Aces. The Aces earned yet another convincing win, with a final score of 102-84.

It was Alyssa Thomas getting the most points on the board for the Sun, with 12 points, 11 assists and 5 rebounds during her 33 minutes on the court.

Connecticut is averaging 83.9 points per game, which is the fifth best offensive ranking in the WNBA. The Sun allows just 79.6 points per contest. That defensive rating is what makes them a team to beat, as it ranks them as the third best defensive club in the league. Their top player is DeWanna Bonner, who is averaging 17.7 points and 4.6 rebounds, and Brionna Jones, who is averaging 15.9 points and 2.4 assists.
