In last night's much less surprising results, Seattle remained very hard to beat at home: LJ and Bird combined for 56 (Bird shot 10-13, too) as their Storm hammered the previously-hot Lib.

Jackson had been having a rough week: she and coach Agler talked about it and decided that she ought to fight for the paint. "I actually felt like fighting it out to bloody play well and get the win," LJ explained. "You sort of get in that mood, and nothing can really stop you."

The Storm ruled the first half, but struggled a bit in the second. As usual, multiple Storm bloggers caught every play.

Storm fans needed the win, having just lost the Sonics to serial liar and homophobic sleazebag Clay Bennett.

In better news, local hero Kristen O'Neill, whom few non-Seattleites saw as a potential WNBA'er despite her fine Husky career, took the court for the first time late in last night's game: everyone cheered.
