Seattle Storm Win 84-82 Over Mystics on Ogwumike Buzzer-Beater

The Seattle Storm secured a dramatic 84-82 victory over the Washington Mystics thanks to a buzzer-beating 15-foot jumper by Nneka Ogwumike, who scored a career-high 30 points including six 3-pointers. This win marked Seattle's third straight and lifted their record to 20-18, helping them in their push for a playoff spot, currently holding seventh place. Dominique Malonga contributed significantly with 17 points and 10 rebounds, while Skylar Diggins added 10 points and 11 assists. Washington's Shakira Austin also scored 30 points with a perfect 10-for-10 from the free-throw line, but it was not enough to overcome Seattle's late-game comeback. The Mystics, now 16-22, have lost four consecutive games and are struggling to maintain playoff contention. Seattle's coach Noelle Quinn celebrated her 94th win, moving to second place on the franchise's all-time coaching wins list.
