Seattle Storm's Last Playoff Appearance

What is the biggest playoff series comeback in the Seattle Storm's history?

The Seattle Storm’s 2018 WNBA Finals is one of the most dramatic playoff comebacks in the history of the team. The Storm faced Washington Mystics and the game was supposed to go in favor of the former but the series had its moments of suspense. The Storm won the first two games at home but the third game which was played in Washington was a very important game. The Mystics, who were struggling for survival, performed their best. But the Storm, which had Breanna Stewart and Sue Bird, showed that they are a team that can come from behind.

The Storm was down for much of the second half of Game 3 but managed to pull through with the help of Stewart and Bird. Their defense was even more set and compact and they made the right decisions in the last two minutes to win the game 89-76 and thus clinch the 3-0 sweep.
