Things seem to be coming together for the Seattle Storm—perhaps more slowly than fans would like, but surely nonetheless.
Seattle exits the Memorial Day weekend with a 3-3 record, which may seem lukewarm for a team that had arguably the strongest free agency period of any team in the WNBA last winter. But after a 1-3 start to the 2024 WNBA season that included two underwhelming losses to the Minnesota Lynx, the Storm have righted the ship, winning their last two games against the Indiana Fever and Washington Mystics, and looking like a much more cohesive unit than they did weeks ago.
The Storm’s performance against Washington was particularly impressive, with Seattle winning 101-69 and shooting 61.7 percent from the field as a team. That’s the second-highest such figure in the Storm’s 25-year history, and it’s indicative of a group of players that’s considerably more comfortable playing together than it was when the season began.
Most encouraging of all was the play of guard…
