Final score: Sun 76, Storm 63

This is typical of how the game went today: the Storm played a tough defensive series with just under three minutes remaining, but Evanthia Maltsi hit a off-balance runner as the shot clock expired to give the Sun a 74-59 lead.

One more example, again with the shot clock winding down: Sun forward Asjha Jones hit a running right-handed hook shot over Lauren Jackson with 2:10 to play.
