Storm Surge Past Prowlers 108-94 Behind Balanced Attack
Seattle Storm's Deep Bench and Stellar Ball Movement Too Much for Denver
SEATTLE – The Seattle Storm rode a wave of balanced scoring and exceptional ball movement to a decisive 108-94 victory over the visiting Denver Prowlers on Tuesday night, extending their winning streak.
The Storm, playing in front of a raucous home crowd, found their rhythm early and often, showcasing a relentless offensive attack that saw nine different players score in double figures or come close.
Denver came out firing, with Aris Caldwell hitting a crucial three-pointer early on, but the Storm quickly answered. Mila Stone was a force in the paint, leading all scorers with 18 points and grabbing 9 rebounds, while Eden Heredia added 14 points and a valuable 3 assists. The Storm’s ability to share the ball was evident, racking up 28 assists against just 7 turnovers, a testament to their cohesive offensive strategy.
The Prowlers struggled to keep pace, particularly from beyond the arc, shooting a dismal 20.9% from three-point range. Chloe Chang was a bright spot for Denver, pouring in 21 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Seattle’s consistent pressure. Maya Reed contributed a double-double with 14 points and 9 rebounds for the Prowlers.
“We knew Denver had scorers, but our focus was on playing our game, moving the ball, and trusting each other,” said Storm forward Mila Stone after the game. “When we play like this, we’re a tough team to stop.”
Seattle’s defense also played a critical role, with Hana Kobayashi anchoring the paint with 3 blocks and the team accumulating 6 steals. This defensive effort stifled Denver’s offensive flow and created valuable transition opportunities.
“It was a total team effort tonight,” commented Storm head coach Isabella Rossi. “Everyone contributed, and that’s what we’ve been working towards. We’re pleased with the result and the way we executed.”
The Storm’s victory solidifies their position in the Pro League standings, while the Prowlers will look to regroup and find solutions to their offensive consistency.
