Storm end 11-game skid with 97-88 over Sky
Seattle Storm ended an 11-game losing streak with a 97-88 win over the Chicago Sky, led by Dominique Malonga’s 26 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks, and Natisha Hiedeman’s 18 points and nine assists. Zia Cooke added 16 points off the bench as Seattle built a 47-33 halftime lead and never trailed after taking control in the third. Hiedeman went 12-of-12 from the free-throw line. DiJonai Carrington scored a career-high 26 for Chicago, mainly off the bench, including 10-for-10 from the line in her first game back after a Flagrant 2 ejection, while Sydney Taylor did not play due to a groin injury. Chicago trimmed the deficit late but Seattle answered with timely plays, including a key corner 3 from Cooke and a late stretch of free throws to seal the victory. The win snapped Seattle’s 11-game slide, and Chicago remained in playoff contention while missing their leading scorer and Taylor.
