Seattle sweeps WNBA finals
Atlanta ? Midway through the third quarter of Game 3 of the WNBA Finals, Storm star Lauren Jackson was scored on, stripped of the ball, then flung around like a rag doll.
The Atlanta Dream had taken the lead, to the delight of most of the fans in sold-out Philips Arena.
But Jackson wasn’t going out like that. No one in Seattle green was.
Sparked by Jackson’s muscle and back-to-back three-pointers by Swin Cash, the Storm roared back to beat the Dream, 87-84, to win its second WNBA championship Thursday night.
The victory capped a perfect 7-0 run through the playoffs and a three-game sweep of the Dream.
