Seattle at Phoenix

It has been a frustrating season for the Seattle Storm. They have star players with Sue Bird, Brienna Stewart, and Jewell Loyd, yet the Storm finished at 15-19 on the season. As the playoffs begin, Seattle is hoping to generate new life. Seattle comes to Phoenix having won both meetings here this season, so they certainly know they can win in the desert. Seattle needed to win on the last day of the season, and Stewart and Loyd really stepped-up, producing 54 points, and I think more of the same can be expected here in this one. They certainly have the right person directing the offense and delivering the ball in Sue Bird, who is now the career all-time assist leader in the WNBA. This game looks to go to the wire, and the points will be significant, so take the points and play Seattle.
