Atlanta DreamvsSeattle Storm
ATL 90/SEA 105
Things to say
Seattle Storm beat the Atlanta Dream 105-90 at home.
01
opener
Storm took care of business at home, 105-90. Nobody saw that coming with Seattle sitting at 5-15. Atlanta got punched in the mouth early and never climbed back in.
02
key player
Flau'jae Johnson went off, 24 and 11 boards. Rookie's getting buckets and crashing the glass, she ate them up all night.
03
hot take
Atlanta's the 12-7 team and they just took the L to a tank job. That's a bad look for a squad that's supposed to be contending.
04
deep cut
Jordin Canada dropped a clean 10 dimes and it still didn't matter. When your point guard's dishing like that and you lose by 15, that's on everybody else.
05
exit
Anyway, Rhyne Howard had 27 trying to drag them back, but yeah. Curious if Atlanta bounces back next one.
The recap
Major upset at Climate Pledge as the 5-15 Storm flat-out ate up the 12-7 Dream, 105-90. Flau'jae Johnson ran an absolute clinic with a 24-and-11 double-double, carrying Seattle while the rest of the roster splashed enough to keep the cushion.
Rhyne Howard went off for 27 trying to drag Atlanta back, but she got zero help and it never mattered. Best team on paper took the L by 15 against the bottom-dwellers nobody saw coming.
