Ahead of another big battle on the road against the Las Vegas Aces, the Seattle Storm are looking to get themselves back on track following a tough loss this past Sunday to the Phoenix Mercury. CSS storm beat writer Christan Braswell takes a look further.

The Seattle Storm failed to close out the 2023 season with a win, as the Los Angeles Sparks pulled off a successful comeback attempt, despite the Storm having a wide open jumper on the last possession of the game.

With their 85-90 loss to the Chicago Sky in their second to last home game of the 2023 season, the Seattle Storm were officially eliminated from playoff contention. It’s the first since 2015 that the franchise will not make the playoffs, as a year of growth continues.

The Seattle Storm completed a season sweep of the Phoenix Mercury, using a strong first half to gain a lead before needing to close out in the fourth quarter to earn their fifth win across the last seven games. Seattle had Jewell Loyd back to form, while Ezi Magbegor impressed alongside her.

The Seattle Storm started off the second half of the 2023 season off with a tough loss to the Las Vegas Aces, as Seattle had definite bright spots with obvious weak points. The Storm continue to plug away on different holes, but it seems whenever they do that another hole busts wide open.

In another tightly contested battle, the Seattle Storm fell in a close loss to the Connecticut Sun. Starting a three-game homestand, the Storm held a three-point lead at the halftime break before the Sun used a strong third quarter to pull away and ultimately never surrender the lead again.

On an emotional day ahead of Sue Bird’s jersey retirement ceremony, the Seattle Storm nearly completed a historic comeback to beat the Washington Mystics, but simply ran out of time. Seattle didn’t have much of anything going on in the first half, but a strong effort on both sides of the ball helped them get within three points. This is Bel Garcia’s recap.
