Seattle Storm 2019 season: 18–16, scoring 74.8 points per game and allowing 75.1 (-0.3 average margin) across 34 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Storm finished 18–16, 7th in the league standings, with a -0.2 net rating that ranked 7th of 12. Defense was the identity — 4th in defensive rating (96.4 per 100) against a 9th-ranked offense (96.2). Nothing jumped off the page as a strength, and the weak spot was turnovers (20.2 a game, 2nd-most in the league). The offense ran through Natasha Howard, who scored 18.1 a night — 24% of the team's points, and she was also the one they can least afford to lose: +34.1 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 4-game winning streak (Jul 12–Jul 19) and a 22-point rout of the Sparks on Jun 21. The lows: a 3-game losing streak (Jun 30–Jul 5) and a 34-point loss at the Sparks on Sep 5. They went 7–12 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a middle-of-the-pack team held back by its turnover problem — good enough to beat anyone on a given night, not consistent enough to be feared.
