Sky-Storm Preview

By BRETT HUSTON
Posted Sep 11 2011 1:38AM

After clinching home-court advantage for the first round of the playoffs Friday, the Seattle Storm will likely have one goal in mind for their regular-season finale.

Don't get hurt.

The Storm know they'll begin the postseason at home Thursday night, leaving little but their health to worry about Sunday against the visiting Chicago Sky.

With six wins in seven games prior to Friday night's visit from Phoenix, Seattle (20-13) seems to be peaking at the right time.

There was plenty on the line against the Mercury, whom the Storm knew they'd be facing in the first round. But a win would allow Seattle to clinch the home-court edge for that series, and it did just that. Reserve Katie Smith scored a season-high 26 points and the Storm cruised to an 85-70 victory, which guaranteed Phoenix will be right back at KeyArena on Thursday.

"Our record shows that being at home is big for us," Smith said of the Storm's 14-2 mark in Seattle. "We didn't want to go to their place. It was pretty much a playoff game and this is going to be the atmosphere when we see them again."

Scenarios exist where the finale against Chicago (14-19) could give the Storm home-court advantage in potential finals matchups against Indiana or Connecticut, but they haven't decided whether they plan on playing their starters Sunday.

With Lauren Jackson still finding her footing after missing nine weeks following hip surgery, coach Brian Agler seems to be leaning toward taking it easy.

"We talked with our team about it and if we feel like getting to 21 (wins) will help us down the road then my vote would be to try to play," Agler said. "I don't know what we'll do with Lauren. We want her ready for the playoffs. We want to put ourselves in the best position. That's my philosophy."

One minor motivation factor may be getting a bit of revenge on the Sky. Chicago beat the Storm 78-69 on July 19 behind 24 points from Sylvia Fowles and 23 from Epiphanny Prince.

Sue Bird had 26 to lead Seattle.

The Sky, however, know Sunday's game will be their last. Chicago was eliminated from the playoff race last Sunday, and it's lost a season-high four straight after falling 74-67 on Saturday in Los Angeles.

Smith, Little lift Storm over Sky 81-70

Posted Sep 11 2011 11:27PM

SEATTLE (AP) Katie Smith and Camille Little had 17 points apiece to lead the defending WNBA champion Seattle Storm to an 81-70 win over the Chicago Sky on Sunday night.

Swin Cash added 15, and Sue Bird had 10 for Seattle (21-13), which has won eight of nine. The Storm had already secured the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

Sylvia Fowles scored 19 of her 30 points in the fourth quarter to lead Chicago (14-20), which finished fifth in the Eastern Conference and failed to make the playoffs. Fowles made all 12 of her free throw attempts.

Cathrine Kraayeveld added 12 points for Chicago.

Seattle's Lauren Jackson sat out to rest for the playoff opener Thursday at home against Phoenix. Jackson had played in eight straight games, including seven Storm wins, since returning from a hip injury that sidelined her for 20 games.

Kraayeveld hit a 3-pointer to help Chicago cut a 12-point deficit to five before Little, Smith and Le'coe Willingham responded with baskets to put the Storm up 57-47 after three quarters.

Little and Bird scored 10 each, and Cash added nine to help give Seattle a 41-33 halftime lead.

Bird scored seven, and Smith added five to help the Storm to a 26-17 first-quarter lead. Fowles scored eight in the half.

Smith hit a 3-pointer in the first quarter to break 6,000 career points. Smith, in her first year with the Storm, ranks third behind Tina Thompson and Lisa Leslie.

The Storm improved to 15-2 at home and holds home-court advantage in the best-of-three series against Phoenix. Seattle won the season series 3-1.

Seattle has advanced to the playoffs eight straight years, and won the championship in 2004 and 2010. Phoenix won the 2009 title.

Chicago rookie Courtney Vandersloot scored five in her hometown return.
