Instant Takeaways: Seattle Storm Lose Ninth Straight With Loss to Liberty

The Seattle Storm’s (6-26) losing streak was extended to nine games on Monday, as it fell 95-83 to the New York Liberty (18-13) at the Barclays Center.

It was a rough start for the Storm, and the Liberty went on several hot streaks throughout the game to nullify chances of a comeback. But Seattle managed to keep things competitive for the most part, primarily on the backs of Flau’jae Johnson, Natisha Hiedeman, and Dominique Malonga. Another New York run late in the third quarter proved to be the difference, as that momentum was enough to put the Storm away for good.
