SEATTLE (AP) — Dominique Malonga had 26 points, 10 rebounds and
three blocks, Natisha Hiedeman added 18 points and nine assists,
and the Seattle Storm snapped an 11-game losing streak with a
97-88 win over the Chicago Sky on Monday night.
Seattle led by 10 points early in the fourth quarter before
Chicago got within 84-82 with just under three minutes remaining
on DiJonai Carrington's steal and fast-break layup. But the Sky
turned it over on their next possession and Seattle guard Zia
Cooke sank a 3-pointer from the corner for an 89-82 lead.
Seattle led by at least five points the rest of the way for its
first victory since beating Los Angeles 82-64 on July 6.
Cooke finished with 16 points off the bench for Seattle (7-28),
which led 47-33 at halftime. Hiedeman went 12 of 12 at the
free-throw line.
Carrington, in her first game since receiving a Flagrant 2 foul
and being ejected against the Indiana Fever on Saturday, made
all 10 of her free throws and scored a career-high 26 points for
Chicago (12-21). Carrington came off the bench and played 27
minutes.
Kamilla Cardoso had 15 points and 13 rebounds, and Courtney
Vandersloot added 13 points for Chicago. Sydney Taylor (groin)
did not play.

Sky: At Golden State on Wednesday.
Storm: Host Portland on Friday.
