Sheryl Swoopes made her first return to Houston as a member of the Seattle Storm and her old team topped her new one.

The Comets led throughout, based on the play of Tina Thompson and Pee Wee Johnson and the team's defense. Seattle did get within three with 18 seconds left, but the Comets controlled the ball after a tie up and jump ball and closed it out with free throws. But according to Jayda, the actual jump ball may be one that should be reviewed by Dee Kantner. Kris from HRR also makes a note on the officiating.

Lauren Jackson led the Storm with 18 points and 9 rebounds and Tanisha Wright had a nice game off the bench with 14 points. But overall the team struggled offensively.
