The Seattle Storm had no problem asserting themselves in an 89-76 victory over the Washington Mystics in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals on Friday at KeyArena.
Both teams were coming off grueling five-game semifinal series. The Storm got the benefit of playing at home after posting a league-best 26-8 record during the regular season. Their fans were rewarded with a stellar all-around night of basketball.
Seattle shot 54.1 percent from the field, including 5-of-12 from three-point range. Its defense was even better, limiting a Mystics team that averaged 84.5 points per game in the regular season to 76 points.
The head-to-head matchup of WNBA MVPs went in favor of the 2018 winner. Breanna Stewart went for 20 points and dished out five assists. Elena Delle Donne, who won the award in 2015, had 10 points and a minus-25 plus-minus in the loss.
What’s Next?
The Mystics will attempt to get even in Game 2 of the series on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET.
