Howard scores 27, Miles adds 19, Lynx beat Storm 88-68 for seventh straight win
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) --- Natasha Howard had a season-high 27 points on 12-of-16
shooting, Olivia Miles added 19 points, six assists and six rebounds, and the
Minnesota Lynx beat the Seattle Storm 88-68 on Saturday for their seventh win
in a row --- the last six by double figures.
Courtney Williams and Kayla McBride scored 11 points apiece for the Lynx (9-2).
Howard and Nia Coffey each had three of Minnesota's season-high-tying 13 steals.
The Storm (3-9), who have lost five in a row, committed a season-high 21
turnovers and shot just 35% (22 of 63) from the field.
Coffey hit a 3-pointer with 3:09 remaining in the second quarter that gave
Minnesota the lead for good at 39-38. Howard made two layups while Coffey and
Maya Caldwell each hit a 3 in a 10-0 run that made it 55-43 less than three
minutes into the third, and it was at least a nine-point game the rest of the
way.
Natisha Hiedeman and Jade Melbourne led Seattle with 14 points apiece. Flau'jae
Johnson added 10 points.
Dominique Malonga (concussion protocol) returned from an eight-game absence and
finished with seven points in 14 minutes off the bench for the Storm.
