A’ja Wilson finished with a game-high 29 points with eight rebounds, three steals and two blocks, capping off a stellar showing on both ends. Jackie Young was also key, contributing 18 points and seven assists.

The Storm will need to shoot better from beyond the arc and be more disciplined on defense to get a more positive result in Game 2. Brittney Sykes, Skylar Diggins and Nneka Ogwumike will all need to pick up the slack to keep Seattle’s playoff journey alive on Tuesday.
