Before today, Sacramento was the best shooting team in the WNBA. Tonight, Seattle shut them down and got their first win. LJ was huge. Everything went wrong for the Monarchs. The Storm were happy with their first win, but Sue Bird said after the game: "We can't celebrate too much. We gotta act like this happens all the time."
