End of the first quarterThe Seattle Storm delivered a dominant offensive showcase at Climate Pledge Arena on Sunday, June 28, 2026, defeating the Atlanta Dream 105-90 in a Women's National Basketball Association regular-season clash. The victory improved Seattle's home record and underscored their status as one of the league's most potent scoring units, while the Dream suffered a setback despite a spirited second-half rally.
Match Overview
From the opening tip, the Storm controlled the tempo, pouring in 32 points in the first quarter behind sharp perimeter shooting and relentless transition offense. Seattle's ball movement created open looks for multiple scorers, and their defense forced Atlanta into difficult shots. By halftime, the Storm had built a 58-44 lead, with Jewel Lloyd leading the charge with 18 first-half points.
Atlanta showed resilience after the break, trimming the deficit to eight points midway through the third quarter behind Rhyne Howard's hot streak. However, Seattle responded with a 13-4 run to close the period, regaining a comfortable double-digit advantage. The Storm never looked back, cruising to a 15-point victory.
Key Performances
- Jewell Loyd (Seattle Storm): Led all scorers with 31 points (11-18 FG, 5-8 3PT), adding 6 assists and 4 rebounds. Her ability to create off the dribble kept the Atlanta defense off balance all night.
- Ezi Magbegor (Seattle Storm): Dominated the paint with 22 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 blocks, anchoring Seattle's interior presence on both ends.
- Rhyne Howard (Atlanta Dream): Scored 27 points (9-20 FG) with 5 assists and 3 steals, providing the primary offensive spark for the Dream.
- Allisha Gray (Atlanta Dream): Contributed 18 points and 7 rebounds, but struggled from beyond the arc (2-7 3PT).
Turning Point
With 3:27 remaining in the third quarter and the Dream threatening to cut the lead to single digits, Seattle's defense forced a shot-clock violation. On the ensuing possession, Lloyd buried a step-back three-pointer, pushing the lead back to 13 and deflating Atlanta's momentum. The Storm finished the quarter on an 11-2 run, effectively sealing the outcome.
Season Impact
The win moves Seattle (12-5) into a tie for second place in the WNBA standings, keeping pressure on the league-leading New York Liberty. Atlanta (8-9) dropped to sixth in the Eastern Conference and will need to tighten their defense after allowing over 100 points for the fourth time this season. The Storm's high-octane offense, averaging 96.2 points per game, continues to be a major factor in their championship aspirations.
