The Seattle Storm's defense, led by Skylar Diggins, Gabby Williams, and Nneka Ogwumike, has been disruptive this season. Their versatility in switching on screens and activity in passing lanes creates difficulties for opponents, leading to steals and turnovers. Diggins humorously noted she might be the "worst" defender in the group. The Storm rank fifth in points allowed per game and recently held the New York Liberty to just six field goals in the second half. Seattle has won three of its last four games, holds a 12-7 record, and sits one game behind Phoenix for second place, with a home-and-home series against Connecticut next.
Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese strongly criticized the league's officiating after a loss to Minnesota, stating it "has to be fixed." Reese expressed frustration after officials reportedly dismissed her concerns about the Sky only attempting two free throws until the fourth quarter, saying it wasn't their job. She highlighted the disparity in free throw attempts (Chicago 8, Minnesota 17) and declared she was "tired of this," regardless of potential fines.
The WNBA standings show Minnesota leading, followed by Phoenix and Seattle. Atlanta and New York are next, then Golden State, Indiana, and Las Vegas. Washington, Dallas, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Connecticut round out the league. Minnesota's Napheesa Collier earned Player of the Week honors for averaging 23.7 points, six rebounds, and 1.7 blocks during a 3-0 week. Aliyah Boston (Indiana), Gabby Williams (Seattle), and Courtney Williams (Minnesota) also received votes.
Looking ahead, Indiana hosts Golden State on Wednesday, with Caitlin Clark expected to return from a five-game absence due to a groin strain.
