« Zero To Sixty In 5.8 Seconds | Main | Running On Campus » August 27, 2005Storm 85, Mercury 74This afternoon, the Storm matched their franchise-high record (20-14) by handily beating the Phoenix Mercury, 85-41, at Key Arena. It was glorious. A lot of the bench got game time tonight; Anne pulled Lauren about five minutes into the second half, and didn't send her back out for the balance of play. Phoenix needed the win (they're now out of the playoffs), but we were pretty much bulletproof; as such, I think the strategy was to let some of our folks get out there and see what they could do. Sue and Betty both made strong contributions, but the night belonged to Tanisha, Izzy and Suzy. The Storm have momentum, and the fans know it. We had a lower-bowl sellout tonight, and there were a good thousand or so in the upper section of the Key. I was joined at the game by Jeff and his wife, Debra, along with their two (adorable) kids. Frankly, I think the kids were more taken with the International Fountain (we hung out there post-victory) than they were with the game - especially Gillian. So The playoffs await us, starting next Thursday at 7 PM. Let's remember what happened last year, shall we? Posted by Gavin Shearer at August 27, 2005 8:12 PM. Posted to Seattle Storm.
