SEATTLE – Gabby Williams scored 18 points, and the Seattle Storm went on an 18-2 fourth-quarter scoring run on Tuesday night to beat the Dallas Wings inside Climate Pledge Arena, 83-77.

Nneka Ogwumike added 14 points, and Erica Wheeler chipped in 11 off the bench.

The Storm were down 56-61 with 8:03 left in the game after the Wings completed a 6-0 run at the outset of the final quarter. Seattle ran off the next 10 points to go ahead for good at 66-61.

The equivalent of a six-point play gave the Storm a double-digit advantage. Up 68-63, Skylar Diggins scored off a feed from Williams to make it 70-63. DiJonai Carrington fouled her hard on the drive to the hoop, and the call was upgraded to a flagrant. Diggins hit both ensuing free throws to make it 72-63, and Seattle retained possession in frontcourt with a full 24 seconds on the shot clock.

Ezi Magbegor then hit a driving lay-in off a feed from Williams for a 74-63 lead at the 3:23 mark.

The win leveled Seattle’s Commissioner’s Cup qualifying record at 1-1.

Carrington finished with 22 points for Dallas.
