SEATTLE — Nneka Ogwumike scored 20 points to lead six players in double figures, and the Seattle Storm beat the Chicago Sky 79-69 on Saturday night to sweep the three-game regular-season series.
The Storm (22-19) have won five of their last six overall and four in a row against the Sky.
Ezi Magbegor had 13 points and Skylar Diggins and Gabby Williams each scored 12 for the Storm. Erica Wheeler and Brittney Sykes each added 11 points.
Angel Reese had 20 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Sky, who have lost four straight and 17 of their last 19. Michaela Onyenwere scored 11 points and Kamilla Cardoso had nine points and 11 rebounds.
With five games remaining in coach Tyler Marsh’s first season, the Sky (9-30, .231) are locked in to finishing with the second-worst winning percentage in team history. The 2006 Sky went 5-29 (.147) in the franchise’s inaugural year.
Reese made two free throws to trim the Sky’s deficit to 57-52 with 9 minutes, 36 seconds left in the game, but Diggins responded with a three-point play that sparked a 7-0 run and the Sky got no closer.
The Storm play the second of four consecutive home games Monday against the Los Angeles Sparks. The Sky face Connecticut on Wednesday at Wintrust Arena.
