Seattle Storm 2022 season: 22–14, scoring 82.5 points per game and allowing 78.4 (+4.1 average margin) across 36 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Storm finished 22–14, 5th in the league standings, with a +5.2 net rating that ranked 4th of 12. They were balanced rather than dominant anywhere — 5th on offense, 3rd on defense. Their calling cards were forcing turnovers (opponents give it away on 19.4% of possessions) and three-point volume (11.5 makes a game, 2nd); the soft spot, getting to the free-throw line (18.7 attempts, 11th). The offense ran through Breanna Stewart, who scored 21.8 a night — 25% of the team's points, and she was also the one they can least afford to lose: +22.7 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 4-game winning streak (May 18–May 29) and a 37-point rout of the Sparks on Jul 7. The lows: a 3-game losing streak (May 8–May 14) and a 20-point loss at the Mercury on May 11. They went 8–9 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a solid playoff-caliber team whose ceiling depended on addressing a lack of free throws.
