Seattle Storm defeated Atlanta Dream 105-90 on Saturday, June 27, with Flau’jae Johnson leading the way on 24 points and 11 rebounds as Seattle took control with a dominant third period and never let the visitors back into the contest at Climate Pledge Arena.

There were no goal scorers to track in this fixture, but there was a clear turning point: Seattle’s shot-making from beyond the arc and a decisive spell after the interval. The Storm moved the ball sharply, found quality looks throughout the night, and turned a competitive first half into a convincing result with a 32-point third quarter.

Atlanta stayed in touch before the break thanks to Rhyne Howard, who finished with 27 points, while Jordin Canada kept the Dream functioning as a creator with 10 assists. But Seattle’s efficiency was on another level. The home side shot 60.3 percent from the floor and an outstanding 60.9 percent from three-point range, hitting 14 of 23 attempts and consistently stretching Atlanta’s defensive shape.

The quarter-by-quarter pattern told the story. Seattle edged the opening period 21-13, then absorbed a better response from Atlanta in the second as the Dream put up 26 points. Even so, the Storm still carried a 46-39 advantage into halftime. From there, the match tilted firmly in Seattle’s favour. A 32-27 third quarter widened the gap, and the Storm saw the result through with a composed 27-24 final period.

Flau’jae Johnson was the standout, pairing her 24 points with 11 rebounds in a complete all-around display. Natisha Hiedeman added control in possession and finished with six assists, while Seattle’s collective attacking rhythm was reflected in 27 team assists. That combination of movement, spacing, and finishing made life difficult for Atlanta across all four periods.

For the Dream, Howard’s 27 points provided a strong individual platform, and Angel Reese added nine rebounds. Atlanta also got to the line effectively, converting 23 of 26 free throws, but the gap in perimeter accuracy proved too much to overcome. The Dream hit just 7 of 29 from deep, and that contrast with Seattle’s 14 made the difference feel even larger than the final margin alone.
