Don't look for the Storm to be so inept scoring-wise as they were during an opening-night, 83-70, home loss to the Lynx this past Tuesday. Now we have a quick rematch. Expect more scoring.
The revamped Storm added Skylar Diggins-Smith and Nneka Ogwumike to go with Jewell Loyd and Ezi Magbegor. That's a lot of offense. The Storm should do much better in the scoring column now that they've played a game.
Seattle shot 37.2 percent from the floor, made only one of nine 3-pointers and committed 17 turnovers in the loss to Minnesota. Loyd, who led the WNBA in scoring last year at 24.7 points, scored just 10 points while missing 16 of 19 shots from the floor.
The Storm know the Lynx's defense better now. Look for them to come out aggressive and not overthink things, like they did in the opener.
Minnesota didn't have a good perimeter game either. The Lynx were just 7-of-24 from 3-point range and only got to the free throw line nine times. Yet they still scored 83 points because of the inside dominance of superstar Napheesa Collier and Alanna Smith. The two combined to make 17 of 34 shots from the floor. Collier and Smith should continue to score in the paint while the Lynx's guards should do better from 3-point range.
