Stewart Scores 30, Seattle Comes From Behind To Defeat Chicago

For the second time this season, the Seattle Storm completed a 14 point comeback over the Chicago Sky, winning 96-85.

Breanna Stewart led the way for the Storm with 30 points and seven rebounds. This game marks the fifth 30 point game for Stewart in her three year career.

Jewell Loyd tallied 19 points, five rebounds and five assists as well. Natasha Howard chipped in 15 points, going 6-for-7 from the field.

The Storm as a team shot 56.5 percent from the field and 47.4 percent from three, connecting on nine shots from behind the arc.

Chicago opened up the third quarter on a 16-2 run, turning a six point Seattle lead into a 10 point lead for the Sky. Chicago remained in a rhythm on the offensive end throughout the quarter, at one point stretching its lead to 14. Seattle closed the quarter with back-to-back three-pointers from Noelle Quinn and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis to trim the deficit to eight entering the fourth quarter.

Seattle opened the fourth period on an 14-2 run to reclaim the lead at 79-75. Chicago fought back, and tied the game back up at 83-83 with 4:07 remaining. Seattle went on a 13-2 run over the last four minutes of the game to complete the comeback, and ultimately win by 11.

HUGHES’ TAKE

Although the starting group did a bulk of the scoring, head coach Dan Hughes noted the bench play as a key factor in the comeback.

“I thought they brought an energy defensively. Quite honestly, we weren’t seeing (the energy) on the court. We were scoring, but we didn’t have that energy defensively, and I thought (the bench) started that, and then they were able to score, so I just went with them for a while.”
