The Dream pulled out the victory despite shooting 38.5 percent overall and 28.1 percent from 3-point range.

Seattle Hopes To Snap Five-Game Losing Skid

The losses are starting to pile up for the Storm as they enter this contest amid a season-high five-game losing streak. Their latest setback includes a 94-91 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday.

Seattle jumped out to an early 26-14 lead after the first quarter before Los Angeles rallied to take a 36-35 lead at the break. Fast forward ahead to the fourth quarter, Skylar Diggins converted a basket that gave the Storm an 87-80 lead with 2:52 left to play.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough, as the Sparks closed the game on a 14-4 run, including a key three-point play from Dearica Hamby in the waning moments.

Four players produced double-digit scoring totals for the Storm. Brittney Sykes led the way with 27 points, four steals and three assists. Dominique Malonga added 20 points and 11 rebounds off the bench.
