Jewell Loyd’s impressive double-double was not enough to help the Seattle Storm overcome the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday night, as the Storm dropped to 0-4 with a loss. Loyd scored 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the game, but it wasn’t enough to stop the Sparks from taking the win.
The Storm have had a difficult start to the season, and Thursday’s loss was their fourth in a row. The team is still adjusting to the new coaching staff, and they are struggling to find their footing. Loyd has been one of the bright spots for the team, however, and her double-double performance against the Sparks was a testament to her talent and determination.
Despite her impressive performance, the Storm were unable to overcome the Sparks. The Sparks were led by Nneka Ogwumike, who scored 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. The Sparks also had a strong defensive effort, holding the Storm to just 37% shooting from the field.
The Storm will need to regroup and find a way to turn things around if they want to make a run at the playoffs this season. Loyd’s double-double performance was a positive sign for the team, but they will need more consistent performances from their other players if they want to get back in the win column.
The Storm have a tough road ahead of them, but with Loyd leading the way, they have a chance to turn things around. If they can find a way to get back on track, they could be a dangerous team in the second half of the season.
