WASHINGTON — The Seattle Storm were winners even before it took the floor on Tuesday evening, but then took care of the formality of actually putting together a winning performance to cap off what could be a very impactful 24 hours.
Nneka Ogwumike scored 24 points to lead four Seattle players who scored in double figures as the Storm held the lead for most of the game before holding on to defeat the Washington Mystics 83-77 inside Entertainment and Sports Arena on Tuesday evening. Ezi Magbegor had 13 points and 14 rebounds for the Storm, who forced 22 Washington turnovers and turned those into 29 points on the other end.
Before the start of the game, the Storm announced the return of free agent Gabby Williams, who starred for France in their near upset of Team USA in the Olympic final in Paris a couple of weeks ago. Williams will join the team next week in Seattle as the team now has a five-day break before returning to action at home on Monday.
