On Wednesday, August 2, the Dallas Wings and Seattle Storm will go head-to-head in the WNBA Western Conference.

Ad

Dallas is the second seed in their conference, sitting behind the league-leading Las Vegas Aces. The Seattle Storm, meanwhile, are tied for the worst record in the WNBA.

Dallas is also a top-3 team in points scored per game, sitting sixth in the WNBA for points allowed. With such strength at the offensive end, and a reliable rearguard, the Storm could find it difficult to keep pace with one of the league's bonafide championship contenders.

For clarity, the Storm are 10th in the league for both points scored and points allowed - which isn't terrible- but they consistently find ways to dig themselves into a hole.
