Storm’s Skylar Diggins hits unreal 72-game WNBA streak during Dream duel

The Seattle Storm lost a critical home game against the Atlanta Dream 85-75, further challenging their efforts to secure the final WNBA playoff spot. Despite the team loss, Storm point guard Skylar Diggins-Smith achieved a significant individual milestone.

Diggins-Smith recorded four assists during the game, marking her 72nd consecutive game with at least three assists. This streak is now the second-longest in WNBA history, surpassing the previous records held by legends Teresa Weatherspoon and Ticha Penicheiro.

As the clear star of the Storm following the offseason trade of Jewell Loyd, Diggins-Smith's continued high-level play is crucial for the team's playoff push. The loss dropped the Storm below .500 to a 16-17 record with only seven regular-season games remaining.

Seattle currently holds a half-game lead over the Los Angeles Sparks for the final playoff berth, though the Sparks have one more game left to play. The Storm's remaining schedule includes a mix of opponents: two games against the Chicago Sky, one against the Dallas Wings, but also challenging matchups against the Minnesota Lynx and Phoenix Mercury.
