Fever and Storm Clash Again for Late-Night Matchup
The Indiana Fever and Seattle Storm meet for the second time in six days after Indiana snapped Seattle’s nine-game winning streak with a 90-84 win on Thursday.
In the first meeting, Kennedy Burke added a much-need boost, finishing the night with a career-high 23 points on 7-of-13 shooting and a 6-of-9 clip from the charity stripe.
Seattle narrowed the deficit to 52-50 in the third quarter, but a 12-0 run spanning the next 2:58 gave the Fever the largest lead of the night heading toward the end of the quarter.
Storm guard Jewell Loyd led Seattle, tying a league-high points scored this season with 35 points.
Julie Allemand poured in another stellar night as the rookie went for 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting from 3-point range, seven rebounds and six assists. Indiana made a season-best 12 field goals from beyond the arc.
Natalie Achonwa continued her impressive stretch off the bench with 14 points, six rebounds and four assists.
Indiana out-rebounded Seattle on Thursday night, 46-30.
Seattle fell to Las Vegas, 82-74, last time out on Saturday.
