Jordin Canada Dropped 23 Points And Nobody In The WNBA Is Ready For Her Reunion With Our Storm

Alright, Emerald City, listen up. We've got a massive game Saturday night at Climate Pledge Arena, and it's a gut punch of a matchup for our Seattle Storm. The Atlanta Dream are rolling into town with a 12-6 record, sitting pretty at 7-2 in the Eastern Conference. And get this, their star, Jordin Canada, just dropped a whopping 23 points in their last game, a tough 78-75 loss to the Golden State Valkyries. Yeah, that Jordin Canada. This is the first time we're seeing the Dream this season, and with our Storm struggling at 4-15 overall and a brutal 0-10 in the Western Conference, this game is absolutely crucial. We need a win, and we need it bad.

Can Our Defense Hold Off the Dream's Offensive Punch?

Our Storm defense has been putting in work, man, ranking fifth in the Western Conference. We're holding opponents to 42.9 percent shooting and letting up 86.0 points per game. That's solid, but the Dream are a different beast. They average 8.7 made three-pointers per game, which is 0.4 more than our Storm typically gives up. They're also no strangers to winning on the road, boasting a 6-4 record away from home. Atlanta isn't afraid of a nail-biter either, with a 2-2 record in games decided by three points or fewer.

ame, which is 2.9 fewer than the 82.7 points Atlanta allows. We've got to find a way to flip that script.

Injuries and Recent Struggles Are Piling Up

It's been a tough stretch, no sugar coating it. Over the last 10 games, our Storm has gone a painful 1-9. We're averaging 80.9 points on 42.5 percent shooting, pulling down 33.1 rebounds, dishing 19.5 assists, swiping 6.9 steals, and blocking 3.7 shots. But our opponents? They're averaging a brutal 89.1 points against us. Meanwhile, the Dream are riding a hotter streak, going 6-4 in their last 10, averaging 91.0 points and hitting 43.7 percent from the field. A Storm forward has been trying to carry the load, averaging 17.5 points and 7.3 rebounds, and another Storm guard is averaging 17.0 points over the last 10. But we're also battling some serious injuries, with two key Storm players out due to foot issues. For Atlanta, Jordin Canada has been a force, averaging 11.7 points, 6.8 assists, and 2.1 steals, with Rhyne Howard adding 17.3 points over their last 10. They also have an injured player who is day to day with a knee issue and another out with a knee injury. This Saturday night, 6:00 PM PT at Climate Pledge Arena, is a chance for our Storm to show some grit. We need to stop Jordin Canada, get our offense rolling, and prove that despite the rough start, this team still has fight. Let's get loud, 12s, and show them what Seattle is made of.
