Seattle Storm Break Skid
In other Seattle sports news, the Seattle Storm ended a difficult 11-game losing streak on Thursday night, defeating the New York Liberty 99-88 at Climate Pledge Arena. Rookie Flau’jae Johnson led the charge with a career-high 28 points, while Dominique Malonga continued her historic season by becoming the youngest player in WNBA history to reach 500 career points.
