Jewell Loyd has been pivotal in recent victories for the Seattle Storm, including a 97-76 win over the Dallas Wings where she scored 30 points, and an 89-77 win against the Indiana Fever with a season-high 34 points despite a swollen eye. Seattle, now in the midst of a WNBA-record nine-game homestand, has improved to 12-6. Loyd's performance against Indiana included five 3-pointers in the first half, and she has tied for sixth-most career games of 30 or more points in WNBA history. The Storm's defense has also been notable, holding Dallas under 20 points in three quarters and limiting Indiana's star rookie Caitlin Clark to just three second-half points. Seattle's games saw sellout crowds, highlighting Loyd's show-stopping performances and the team's defensive prowess.
