To finally have the opportunity to have time on the clock and give it to our best player to make a play, it feels great. It feels like the dividends that are paying off with the repetitions we&#8217;ve had in a lot of these close games.<\/p>\n<cite>Noelle Quinn, Seattle coach<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nSeattle coach Noelle Quinn emphasized the importance of the victory, especially after a series of close losses. The team had lost its first five August games by four points or less.\n\n\n<p>Despite the convincing wins in Chicago and Dallas, Sunday&#8217;s game seemed to follow a pattern similar to previous defeats. Although Ogwumike achieved a career high with six three-pointers and surpassed 30 points for the second time this season, Seattle saw the Mystics erase a 13-point lead in the third quarter.<\/p>\n\n\nWashington tied the game in the last minute with a basket by Kiki Iriafen and a three-pointer by Sug Sutton, setting the stage for Seattle&#8217;s final play.\n\nAccording to Ogwumike, star point guard Skylar Diggins altered the play planned by Quinn during the timeout. Diggins anticipated a defensive switch, which led Ogwumike to slip instead of block, resulting in the winning shot.\n\nBrittney Sykes, another team star, expressed her confidence in Diggins and Ogwumike&#8217;s execution in the final moments of the game.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seattle Storm Clinches Crucial Victory Against Mystics in Dramatic Finish The Seattle Storm found themselves in a familiar situation on Sunday, with a tied score against the Washington Mystics.
