Halftime: Sun 42, Storm 32

Positive signs are showing for the Storm. Coming out of the timeout, Izi drained a 3-pointer and displayed the look of, "Finally!"

But Margo Dydek in answering every big shot with one of her own. The 7-foot-2 center is bringing the Storm defense to her by knocking down 15-foot jumpers. In turn, the lane is open for driving guard Lindsay Whalen.

The Storm pulled within seven points at 37-30, but a drive by Whalen and 3-pointer from Kristen Rasmussen pushed the Sun's lead back to double digits. Betty Lennox closed the half with a baseline jumper with 3.5 seconds remaining before halftime.
