Seattle Storm Blasts Heat for Second Straight VictorySeattle Storm Blasts Heat for Second Straight Victory The Seattle Storm continued their dominance over the Miami Heat on Sunday night, securing their second consecutive victory with a resounding 87-62 win at Climate Pledge Arena. From the opening tip, the Storm set the pace with relentless defense and crisp ball movement. Breanna Stewart led the charge, pouring in 23 points and grabbing 10 rebounds for her 10th double-double of the season. Jewell Loyd also had a strong performance, contributing 18 points and 5 assists. The Storm’s swarming defense limited the Heat to just 35% shooting from the field, including a dismal 18% from three-point range. Miami’s leading scorer, Brianna Turner, was held to just 10 points on 5-of-12 shooting. Jessica Breland added 8 points and 6 rebounds, but it was not enough to overcome Seattle’s suffocating defense. The Storm’s victory marks their fifth straight win overall and improves their record to 9-3 on the season. They remain undefeated at home, with a perfect 5-0 record at Climate Pledge Arena. “We’re really connecting as a team,” said Storm coach Noelle Quinn after the game. “We’re playing with great intensity and we’re making it hard for opponents to score.” The Heat, who entered the game with a 4-6 record, have now lost three straight games. They will look to rebound when they host the Las Vegas Aces on Monday night. Meanwhile, the Storm will travel to Los Angeles to face the Sparks on Tuesday night. With their recent surge in form, Seattle is poised to continue their winning ways and solidify their place among the league’s top teams.
