Sparks-Storm Preview

By MATT BECKER
Posted Aug 24 2010 2:53PM

The Seattle Storm were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Los Angeles Sparks each of the past two seasons.

A healthy Lauren Jackson is determined not to let that happen again.

After finishing with one of the best records in WNBA history, Jackson and the Storm try to take the first step toward winning their first title in six years when they host the Sparks in Wednesday night's best-of-three series opener.

Seattle (28-6) has looked like the favorite to win the championship for much of the season, opening a franchise-best 22-3 and securing home-court advantage throughout the postseason July 27. The Storm tied the 2001 Sparks for most regular-season victories and are seeking their first title since 2004.

"Our team is on a mission right now," Jackson told the WNBA's official website. "And that's to win a championship."

With Jackson healthy and the top contender to win her third league MVP, that goal seems possible.

Jackson missed each of the past two postseasons with injuries, and Seattle lost both series to the Sparks in three games.

Jackson, who averaged 20.5 points and 8.3 rebounds this season, and the Storm won all five meetings with Los Angeles (13-21) in 2010.

The Storm concluded the regular season with a 76-75 win over the Sparks on Saturday to finish a league-record 17-0 at home. Seattle has won eight straight regular-season home games over Los Angeles since 2007.

"I think both teams have really good competitors," Storm coach Brian Agler said. "(The Sparks are) to the point now where they're going to take whatever it takes to win. They're going to do what they have to do."

Seattle, with Jackson in the post, boasted one of the league's top defenses, allowing an average of 73.8 points on 41.3 percent shooting.

While Jackson garners most of the attention for the Storm's remarkable season, Swin Cash and Sue Bird are also playing significant roles for Seattle.

Cash averaged 13.8 points - her highest since 2004 with Detroit - and Bird finished second in the league with 5.8 assists per game.

"We've played them five times, so at this point, if we don't know them by now, then we haven't been paying attention," Sparks forward Tina Thompson said. "We're going to keep coming out and playing hard, fighting. That's what our players are all about, is to leave everything out there and give it our all."

While the Storm are finally at full strength for the playoffs, the Sparks have been without Candace Parker since June because of a season-ending shoulder injury.

The 35-year-old Thompson has stepped up in Parker's absence, averaging team highs of 16.6 points and 6.2 rebounds to help Los Angeles rebound from a 4-13 start and make the playoffs for the 11th time in 12 years.

Still, without Parker, it appears that it will be tough for the Sparks, who were eliminated in the Western Conference finals each of the past two seasons, to win their first title since 2002.

Game 2 of the series will be in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon.

Storm beats Sparks in playoff opener 79-66

Posted Aug 26 2010 1:24AM

SEATTLE (AP) Swin Cash scored 20 points and Lauren Jackson added 17 to help the Seattle Storm beat the Los Angeles Sparks 79-66 in Game 1 of their WNBA Western Conference semifinal Wednesday night.

Camille Little scored 11 and Sue Bird added nine points and 12 assists for Seattle, which had the best record in the regular season at 28-6.

The Storm can wrap up the best-of-three series with a win Saturday at Los Angeles and avoid a sixth straight first-round exit.

Marie Ferdinand-Harris scored 18 points, Kristi Toliver and Tina Thompson each had 16 to lead fourth-seeded Los Angeles.

The Storm swept the regular season series against the Sparks 5-0, including a 76-75 win at home Saturday.

Since winning the WNBA title in 2004, the Storm have lost in the first round in each year - including the last two years against the Sparks when two-time MVP Jackson missed the postseason due to injuries.

Cash had four straight points to open the fourth quarter to give the Storm a 63-48 lead with 9:02 left.

The Sparks responded with seven consecutive points to cut the lead to eight before Little and Tanisha Wright hit back-to-back 3-pointers and Jackson hit a jumper to push the lead to 16 with 3:02 left.

The Storm set a league record for home victories, finishing 17-0, and tied the record for overall wins set by Los Angeles in 2000 and 2001.
