The recap
Biggest upset vibes of the night in Seattle, where the 4-15 Storm flat-out ate up a Liberty squad that came in 12-7. Flau'jae Johnson was the story, dropping 28 and getting buckets all night to drag Seattle to the 99-88 win.
Jonquel Jones did everything she could for New York with 26 and 8, but she got next to nothing around her and the Storm pulled away late. Sabrina and the Liberty just couldn't find a rhythm on the road and took the L to a team that had no business hanging with them on paper.
