Washington at Seattle

The Seattle Storm has won three straight games and have been a great home team over the years. The Storm is 64-8 in their last two regular season home games, but those were teams that won 20 games or more in each season. At 4-7 this is not one of those teams. The fact is in years when this team failed to win 20 games, their home record was nowhere near 64-8, since 2000 it has been 53-47. The home prowess is more indicative of the strength of their team which has been .500 or better for ten straight years. Last year Jackson, Cash, Wright and Bird were all scorers. This year Jackson and Cash are not playing, Wright and Bird have declined, so this team has fallen sharply. Washington may have but two wins, but seven of their last eight have been decided by eight points or less and six of those by six points or less. They are a competitive team, getting to many points here. Play on Washington.
