Storm 86, Sky 73

My good friend John Kaufmann (aka, "He Who Introduced Me To The Storm") and I got together tonight at Key Arena to watch the Seattle Storm darken the Chicago Sky, 86 - 73.

It was the first game at the Key for the Sky (they're the newest addition to the WNBA), and neither the Storm nor the Sky acquitted themselves too handily tonight. Play was awkward, sloppy, ugly (kicked balls, missed passes) for the first 3/4 of the game, when the Storm finally kicked it in gear, got their defense together, and gave the ball over to Betty - who would promptly put it in the basket.

The crowd was small tonight - about 4,000 - and we didn't really come out and scream until the Sky got within a single point of our lead. One thing the crowd did get up and cheer for was Lauren Jackson's 3,000th (!) point in her career - at which point, she became the fastest woman to get 3,000 career points in the WNBA.

It was great to win - especially after Sunday - and it's always terrific to see John.

Next home game is vs. Phoenix on the 21st!
