Ogwumike’s three-point play was then answered with Naz Hillmon’s layup, before Ogwumike’s mid-range jumper pulled the Storm within two points with 1:06 remaining.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

After the Storm took a two-point lead into the third quarter, neither team built a lead larger than two until Ogwumike’s triple gave the Storm a 51-46 edge with 4:38 left. Diggins then hit a pair of free throws, before the Dream answered with an 8-0 spurt. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Canada’s jumper gave Atlanta a one-point lead with 1:01 left in the third, but Alysha Clark and Wheeler each connected on jumpers to give Seattle a 59-56 edge entering the fourth.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

After Wheeler’s 3-pointer put the Storm ahead 64-60, Griner and Caldwell’s layups stamped a 9-2 run to give the Dream a 69-66 lead with 5:34 remaining. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n
