Seattle Storm 2025 season: 23–21, scoring 82.1 points per game and allowing 80.1 (+2 average margin) across 44 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
The Storm finished 23–21, 7th in the league standings, with a +2.9 net rating that ranked 7th of 13. Defense was the identity — 4th in defensive rating (100.1 per 100) against a 8th-ranked offense (103). Their calling cards were ball security (15.4 turnovers a game, fewest) and forcing turnovers (opponents give it away on 20.1% of possessions); the soft spots, getting to the free-throw line (20 attempts, 13th) and offensive rebounding (8.6 a game, 12th). Nneka Ogwumike (18.3 ppg) and Skylar Diggins (15.5) carried the scoring load between them, though the on/off numbers point to Skylar Diggins as the one they can least afford to lose — +17.2 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 3-game winning streak (May 19–May 25) and a 38-point rout of the Sky on Jul 24. The lows: a 6-game losing streak (Aug 1–Aug 13) and a 27-point loss at the Valkyries on Jun 29. They went 12–14 against teams at .500 or better and 4–9 in games decided by five or fewer. Bottom line: a middle-of-the-pack team held back by a lack of free throws — good enough to beat anyone on a given night, not consistent enough to be feared.
