Seattle walked all over Minnesota in Key Arena. The game may have been decided in the first minute, when Tanisha Wright fell on top of Vanessa Hayden, who left the court in pain and did not return. Word is she has a shoulder subluxation (less severe than a dislocation): she could be done for the year.

When Hayden sees limited minutes, the Lynx lose unless jump shooters do well and Ohlde turns in a superb performance: the visitors got the latter (17 points from Ohlde), but not the former, and the Storm put the game away early in the second half.

Anne Donovan became the third WNBA coach (and the first woman coach) to garner one hundred wins. Lauren Jackson had 18 points and 11 boards; her MVP case depends partly on what happens in Houston, and maybe in Indiana, but it's not too early to say she's having a good year.

As for attendance, 9,245 last night might look good for another franchise, but a Seattle columnist wants more. Sue Bird: "Once the playoffs start, we're going to have 17,000 people in here."
