• The line for this game is Storm by 3.5 points.

• The Seattle Storm will aim to advance to the second round of the WNBA playoffs for the fifth straight season on Sunday when they host the Washington Mystics. The fourth-seeded Storm took the first step in that quest with an 86-83 victory over the fifth-seeded Mystics on Thursday in the opener of their best-of-three series. Game 3, if needed, would be Wednesday in Washington, D.C.

• Breanna Stewart finished with 23 points on Thursday, marking the 11th time in her past 15 games that she has scored at least 20. The two-time WNBA MVP also had 12 rebounds to give her six double-doubles during that stretch.

• Jewell Loyd scored 12 of her 16 points in the final 4:52 of the contest for Seattle.

• Washington’s Elena Delle Donne scored 11 of her 26 points in the fourth quarter while playing in her first playoff game since the 2019 WNBA Finals. The two-time league MVP made 11 of 17 shots from the floor, however she misfired on all four of her 3-point attempts.

• Natasha Cloud, who joined Ariel Atkins with 16 points for the Mystics, said she isn’t dwelling on committing a costly turnover late in the game on Thursday.
