Mercury visit Storm in matchup of title hopefuls

The Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm want to get back to championship-winning form this season.

It's just that their players don't want to talk too much about it.

"There was one year, I was not saying that word anymore," Mercury guard Diana Taurasi, the WNBA's all-time leading scorer, told the Arizona Republic. "It's just easy to say we want to win a championship.

"Do we have the talent? Yes. Are we going to take that extra step of making sure we put it together and we make it work to the point we're playing at a level together as a championship team? We'll see. We have the talent, the experience and the ability to do that. Now we've got to put it together."

The Mercury did that Friday night in their season opener as Taurasi scored 26 points, including the 1,000th 3-pointer of her career, in an 86-78 victory against the visiting Dallas Wings.

DeWanna Bonner, who returned after missing last season to give birth to twins, added 17 points and 12 rebounds. Brittney Griner, battling foul trouble, scored 13 points and newcomer Briann January had 10.

The Storm opens their season Sunday night, hosting the Mercury at Seattle's KeyArena.

With veteran Sue Bird and emerging superstars Breanna Stewart and Jewell Loyd, the Storm also have title aspirations.

"I'm not going to say anything. I don't want to jinx it," Loyd told The Seattle Times. "That would be pretty dope, though."

Of course, the Mercury and Storm have to contend with the Los Angeles Sparks and Minnesota Lynx in the Western Conference.

The Storm selected UCLA point guard Jordin Canada with the No. 5 overall pick in the WNBA draft and brought in veteran Courtney Paris to help shore up the frontcourt.

"The first thing I want to be is a winning basketball team. We haven't been a winning basketball team since 2011," said new Storm coach Dan Hughes, a 20-year WNBA veteran. "We have to change the defensive direction where it's been and where we'd like to go. ... To be elite, we're going to have to shore up the defensive side of the ball."

Stewart, who is entering her third professional season, won four NCAA titles at UConn, earning MVP honors of the Final Four each time.

"I'm here to win. That's why I play basketball. I'm tired of being 15-19 or whatever ..." Stewart told The Times. "It's about winning and bringing that culture back to the Storm franchise."

Sparks edge Lynx 77-76 on Gray's shot in WNBA Finals rematch
May 20, 2018


MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Chelsea Gray's contested off-balance shot in the lane at the buzzer gave the Los Angeles Sparks a 77-76 victory over the Minnesota Lynx in their season opener Sunday, an intense rematch of last year's WNBA finals.

Lindsay Whalen had 10 of her 17 points in the fourth quarter for the Lynx, including a pair of free throws with 5.8 seconds left. Gray, who finished with 18 points and eight assists, dribbled into traffic at the other end after a timeout and gave the short-handed Sparks some payback for losing the title last fall.

Odyssey Sims led the Sparks with 21 points, Nneka Ogwumike added 19 points and nine rebounds, and Essence Carson had 10 points. Los Angeles shot just 3 for 18 from 3-point range.

Sylvia Fowles had 15 points and 12 rebounds, Rebekkah Brunson pitched in 15 points, and Maya Moore had just 11 points on 4-for-14 shooting for the Lynx. They had a staggering 24 turnovers that turned into 23 points for the Sparks.

SUN 101, ACES 65

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) - Alyssa Thomas had 13 points, 16 rebounds and six assists to help Connecticut beat expansion Las Vegas in the season opener for both teams.

Tamera Young, who scored the first two points in franchise history on a jumper 51 seconds in, scored 23 for the Aces.

Every Connecticut player scored at least two points, led by Alex Bentley's 18. The Sun hit 11 of 22 from 3-point range, while the Aces shot 26.5 percent from the field, including 1 of 7 from behind the arc. Thomas also had two steals and three blocks.

Rookie A'ja Wilson, the first overall pick in the 2018 WNBA draft, had 14 points and 10 rebounds for Las Vegas.

WINGS 101, DREAM 78

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Skyler Diggins-Smith scored 25 points, and Liz Cambage had 21 points, nine rebounds and four blocks to help Dallas beat Atlanta.

Christmas-Kelly finished with 15 points, hitting 11 of 14 free throws, and 10 rebounds, Kaela Davis also scored 15 points, and Kayla Thornton added 13 for the Wings (1-1).

Angel McCoughtry, who sat out last season to rest, had 13 points. She was one of five players to score in double figures for Atlanta (0-1) and hit a jumper early in the fourth quarter to become the 18th player in league history with at least 5,000 career points. The four-time WNBA All-Star is 10 points behind Taj McWilliams-Franklin's 5,013 for 17th on the career list.

MYSTICS 82, FEVER 75

WASHINGTON (AP) - Kristi Toliver hit four 3-pointers and finished with 16 points, and Elena Delle Donne had 13 points and seven assists to help Washington beat Indiana.

Delle Donne hit Toliver for a 3 to make it 82-73 with 1:08 remaining. The Fever (0-2) trailed by as many as 14 points early in the fourth quarter, but Candice Dupree made a jumper and then a runner in the lane 26 seconds later to pull the Fever within six with 1:25 to play.

Monique Curry and Tierra Ruffin-Pratt scored 11 points apiece for Washington (1-0), which made 11 of 25 from 3-point range and 15 of 16 free throws.

Natalie Achonwa had career highs of 21 points and 12 rebounds for Indiana. Dupree scored 13 points with 10 boards.

SKY 80, LIBERTY 76

CHICAGO (AP) - Allie Quigley scored 15 of her 22 points in the fourth quarter to help Chicago beat New York.

It was the Sky's first game at the new Wintrust Arena.

Jamierra Faulkner had 14 points, five rebounds and five assists. Gabby Williams, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2018 WNBA draft, scored 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting for Chicago.

Tina Charles led New York with 19 points. Rookie Kia Nurse added 17 and Amanda Zahui B scored 15.

Opening weekend highlighted by rematch
May 21, 2018


NEW YORK (AP) What an opening weekend for the WNBA.

The finals rematch between Los Angeles and Minnesota was decided at the buzzer, while Connecticut welcomed Las Vegas to the league with the most lopsided loss in opening day history.

The Lynx celebrated their fourth championship in seven years by receiving their rings before the game Sunday against the Sparks, adding fuel to the league's top rivalry.

Los Angeles got the last laugh though with Chelsea Gray hitting an off-balance shot in the lane at the buzzer for the 77-76 win.

''Chelsea is the game-winner queen,'' said Odyssey Sims, who led the Sparks with 21 points. ''I don't know how she squeezed up and flipped it in. I still don't believe. I don't even know how, but it was amazing.''

The win was even more remarkable since the Sparks were missing Candace Parker - out with a back injury.

''We love Candace. She's a heck of a player, one of the best in the league, but I just kind of focus on the people that are here,'' Sparks coach Brian Agler said. ''That's all we do.''

Connecticut opened its season with a 36-point victory over the relocated Aces, who moved from San Antonio to Las Vegas this past offseason. It was the second-biggest margin of victory for the Sun in franchise history, only trailing a 42-point rout of New York in 2012.

The Sun were actually down 14-4 early against the Aces before taking command.

''We have a long way to go and we know that,'' Las Vegas coach Bill Laimbeer said. ''We are missing a lot of players, four contributors from last year and we have to wait for them to get back. They are a very good basketball team and we knew we were going to be in a hornets nest and we were exposed, we lack shooters, shooting 26 percent again two games in a row is not going to cut it and we have to find a solution.''

The Aces are missing stars Kayla McBride and Kelsey Plum, who are playing in the Turkish League finals.

Other tidbits from the opening weekend:

STRONG START:
Phoenix beat both Dallas and Seattle to improve to 2-0 for the fifth time in franchise history. The previous two times the Mercury did that (2009 and 2014), they went on to win the WNBA championship. ... Chicago also started 2-0 for the first time since 2014.

WELCOME BACK: Liz Cambage had a stellar opening weekend as Dallas went 1-1. The Australian star, who skipped the last few seasons while playing overseas, averaged 19.5 points and nine rebounds and three blocks.

''It was unfortunate to lose to Phoenix the other night,'' Cambage said after Sunday's 101-78 win over Atlanta. ''We came back just wanting to win, needed to get this first win at home. I think we've really developed a lot since the last game.''

3-POINT BARRAGE: Diana Taurasi became the first WNBA player with 1,000 career 3-pointers and just the fourth in basketball history to do it in less than 400 games. She joined the NBA's Damian Lillard, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Taurasi reached the milestone in the season-opening win over Dallas.

WASHINGTON (AP) Elena Delle Donne scored 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as the Washington Mystics beat the Las Vegas Aces 75-70 on Tuesday night

Ariel Atkins' steal and fast-break layup gave Washington a 67-65 lead and Kristi Toliver made a baseline jumper on the Mystics' next possession. Delle Donne blocked a shot and made an up-and-under basket at the other end for a four-point lead.

A'ja Wilson was fouled on a putback and completed the three-point play with 30 seconds left to pull Las Vegas within 71-70. But Natasha Cloud dribbled down the clock and made a driving layup. Las Vegas missed a two-point shot and Tianna Hawkins secured it at the line.

Hawkins finished with 17 points for Washington (2-0) and Atkins, a rookie, scored 15. The pair each made three of Washington's eight 3-pointers.

Wilson paced Las Vegas (0-2) with 16 points and eight rebounds. Nia Coffey added 14 points and Tamera Young 13.

SPARKS 87, FEVER 70

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Nneka Ogwumike had 25 points and 10 rebounds to help the Sparks beat the Fever.

Los Angeles, which took over the top spot in the AP WNBA power poll this week, jumped out to a 20-6 lead and it was 50-36 at the half behind 17 points from Ogwumike. Indiana pulled within 67-57 early in the fourth quarter but the Sparks answered with a 9-2 run and led by double figures the rest of the way.

Odyssey Sims added 17 points and Chelsea Gray, who hit a game-winner against defending champion Minnesota on Sunday, scored 12 points for Los Angeles (2-0). Candace Parker missed her second straight game with a back injury.

The Sparks have won 13 of the past 16 regular-season games in the series - including six of the last eight on the road.

Kelsey Mitchell scored 20 points and Tiffany Mitchell added 14 for Indiana (0-3). Natalie Achonwa, coming off career highs of 21 points and 12 rebounds on Sunday, had six points and eight rebounds in 17 minutes.

WNBA: Lynx spoil Liberty's first game at new arena
May 25, 2018


WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) Maya Moore scored 20 points, including a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 19.5 seconds left, and the Minnesota Lynx beat New York 78-72 on Friday night to spoil the Liberty's first game in their new home - the Westchester County Center.

The Lynx star sat out most of the fourth quarter as her team rallied from a six-point deficit. She left with 5 minutes left in the period before re-entering with 56 remaining.

Sylvia Fowles hit two free throws to give the Lynx a 71-70 advantage. Tina Charles answered with a basket to put the Liberty up 72-71 with 23.5 seconds left. After a timeout, Moore caught the ball at halfcourt, dribbled to the top of the key and hit a 3-pointer.

Kia Nurse tried to respond for New York (0-2), but she missed a jumper and the Lynx (2-1) hit four free throws in the final 13 seconds to seal it. Seimone Augustus led the Lynx with 21 points.

Charles finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds for New York, which will play all but two games at the arena, which houses the Knicks' G-League team. The County Center is configured to seat 2,319 fans for Liberty games with the option to expand it to about 4,500. The Liberty drew an average of just over 9,000 last year when they played at Madison Square Garden. Friday's opener was a sellout.

STORM 95, SKY 91, OT


SEATTLE (AP) - Jewell Loyd scored 29 points and made four 3-pointers, Breanna Stewart added 28 points and Seattle overcame a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Chicago in overtime.

Natasha Howard added 16 points and 10 rebounds for Seattle (2-1).

Allie Quigley led Chicago (2-2) with 23 points, and DeShields added 19.
