| WNBA Preview: Chicago Sky vs. Seattle Storm |
The best place to wager on the WNBA is the online sportsbook BetPhoenix. Winning on the road has been a struggle for the Chicago Sky. It’s been a different story on their home floor. The Sky will try to earn their fourth straight home victory Tuesday night when they take on the Seattle Storm. After routing Tulsa at Allstate Arena on Wednesday, Chicago (7-8) dropped its fifth in a row on the road Saturday by allowing Atlanta to take control in the fourth quarter. Despite a 40-17 run that gave the Sky a seven-point lead in the third, the Dream outscored Chicago 24-14 in the final period and won 76-68. Sylvia Fowles had 20 points, 11 rebounds and eight blocks, but the other Sky starters combined for 22 points. “We just have to keep pressing forward. We have to look at some of the thing that we didn’t get done,” Fowles said. The defeat dropped Chicago to 1-6 on the road, but the Sky will be seeking their longest home win streak since a franchise-best five-game run in 2009 on Tuesday. To continue that roll, the Sky may need to take better care of the ball. They’re averaging a league-worst 18.5 turnovers and matched a season high with 21 against Atlanta. “We’re leading the league in turnovers and those are points you end up missing,” forward Michelle Snow said. “With those additional points, it could’ve been a different game.” Chicago gave the ball away only 12 times at home against Seattle on May 27, 2010, and led by 19 in the fourth quarter before beating the eventual WNBA champions 84-75. Seattle bounced back to break a three-game skid in the series with an 80-60 victory July 30. Swin Cash scored 16 points to pace five Storm players in double figures, while Lauren Jackson added 14. Jackson won’t play in this game as she continues her recovery from hip surgery. The Storm (7-6) have been inconsistent without the three-time league MVP, ending last week by suffering back-to-back defeats for the first time this season. After scoring 99 and 79 points in two straight home wins, Seattle failed to score more than 66 in losses at San Antonio on Thursday and at Minnesota on Saturday. The Storm managed two points over a 12:41 span in the 69-62 defeat to the Lynx, their third in a row away from home. Seattle hasn’t dropped four straight on the road since July 28-Aug. 15, 2009. “We can’t go into those lulls because it gives teams opportunities to get big leads on us,” guard Sue Bird said. “Even though we do come back, it’s a lot of energy to do that and then sometimes it’s difficult to get over the hump, tying it or taking the lead. We’re definitely aware of that. We’ve just got to have a little more focus.” The Storm falls flat and the Chicago Sky finally get a win on the WNBA highway. Play on the Chicago Sky
