Seattle Storm 2017 season: 15–19, scoring 82.6 points per game and allowing 82.6 (0 average margin) across 34 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Storm finished 15–19, 8th in the league standings, with a 0 net rating that ranked 6th of 12. This was an offense-first team — 4th in offensive rating (105) but 9th on defense (105 allowed per 100). Their calling cards were shot-making (53% eFG, 1st) and three-point volume (9.2 makes a game, 1st); the soft spot, offensive rebounding (8.1 a game, 12th). Breanna Stewart (19.9 ppg) and Jewell Loyd (17.7) carried the scoring load between them, and she was also the one they can least afford to lose: +12.8 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 4-game winning streak (May 14–May 28) and a 37-point rout of the Sky on Aug 20. The lows: a 4-game losing streak (Jul 30–Aug 8) and a 30-point loss at the Mystics on Jun 27. They went 5–13 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a solid playoff-caliber team whose ceiling depended on addressing a lack of second chances.
