INDIANAPOLIS — The Seattle Storm’s three-game road trip ended Wednesday with a thud.
The Storm struggled to take care of the ball and the Indiana Fever took full advantage, beating Seattle 88-65 in WNBA action.
Indiana scored 19 points off 12 Seattle turnovers in the first half as the Fever built a 53-35 halftime lead and were never seriously threatened in the second half.
The Storm (3-10) went 0-3 on the road swing, which included games at Minnesota and Atlanta.
Rookie Jewell Loyd, the No. 1 pick in the 2015 WNBA draft, came off the bench to lead Seattle with 15 points. She was 3-for-7 from the field and 8-for-10 from the foul line. It marked the fourth time in the past five games Loyd has reached double figures in scoring.
Abby Bishop added 12 points for Seattle.
Lynetta Kizer paced Indiana (6-6) with 17 points. Marissa Coleman and Tamika Catchings scored 15 and 12, respectively.
Seattle returns home Friday to take on Phoenix at KeyArena. The tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
