News: 3 hours agoMelbourne finished with 23 points (7-15 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block across 29 minutes in Saturday's 100-93 loss to Portland.
Spin: Melbourne led Seattle in scoring and did much of her damage from beyond the arc, knocking down four triples on a team-high 12 attempts. She also handed out five assists, the second-best mark on the team, without committing a turnover. Melbourne helped Seattle make a late push after Portland had taken control of the contest, but the Storm couldn't complete the comeback and suffered their 11th consecutive defeat. The 23-year-old continues to carry a substantial offensive role and has enough scoring and playmaking responsibility to remain an appealing fantasy option.
