Chicago SkyvsSeattle Storm
CHI 88/SEA 97
Things to say
Seattle Storm beat the Chicago Sky 97-88 at home.
01
opener
Storm finally got one at home, 97-88 over Chicago. Been a rough year for Seattle but they looked hungry tonight. Nice to see them protect the floor.
02
key player
Dominique Malonga was a problem — 26 and 10, just living in the paint. That kid is the future, buckets all night.
03
hot take
Say what you want about their record, but 7-28 Seattle just out-hustled a playoff team. Chicago should be embarrassed.
04
deep cut
Cardoso pulled down 13 boards for Chicago and it still didn't matter — Hiedeman was picking them apart, dropped nine dimes running the show.
05
exit
Anyway, Carrington kept it close with 26 — Sky better clean it up before their next one.
The recap
Seattle finally got one in the win column, knocking off Chicago 97-88 at Climate Pledge. Dominique Malonga was the story here, dropping 26 and grabbing 10 for a double-double while stuffing the paint all night.
DiJonai Carrington matched her with 26 of her own to keep Chicago hanging around, but Seattle wouldn't let it slip. When you're sitting at 7-28, you take this one and run.
