  • SAN ANTONIO(AP) Becky Hammon scored 17 points, including an uncontested layup with 1:12 left, and the San Antonio Silver Stars rallied from a 12-point deficit to beat the Seattle Storm 74-69 on Friday night.

    Hammon's basket, set up when Sophia Young stole Seattle's Sue Bird pass near the basket, put the Silver Stars (5-4) ahead 69-65.

    Lauren Jackson then scored on a baseline drive and made a free throw to cut San Antonio's lead to 69-68 with 48 seconds remaining.

    Jackson was whistled for fouling Young with 25 seconds to go and 2 seconds left on the shot clock. Young made both free throws to put San Antonio ahead 71-68.

    Bird, who led Seattle (7-4) with 21 points, made a free throw to make it a two-point game. She fouled Vickie Johnson to stop the clock, but Johnson made both free throws to give the Silver Stars a 73-69 edge.

    Bird's 17 first-half points - on 6-of-9 shooting including three 3-pointers - gave the Storm a 12-point lead early in the third quarter.

    But the Silver Stars, who shot 35 percent in the first half, made their last five shots of the frame - including 3-pointers from Hammon and Helen Darling - and went into the fourth trailing 56-53.

    San Antonio tied it 56-56 just 1:10 into the final quarter on Young's shot from the top of the key.

    Johnson had 16 points, and Young added 15.
