The Storm trailed by as many as 19 points and was down 12 with 3:21 to play, but finished the game with a 15-0 run capped by Sue Bird’s game-winning three-pointer with 2.8 seconds left in what was a tie game. The victory swept the Mercury, the defending league champion, and kept the Storm undefeated in the postseason. Already, the Storm posted the best winning percentage in a regular season in Seattle pro sports history, going 28-6 (.824) to tie the WNBA record for wins in a season, including 17-0 at home. The Storm has swept through the first two rounds of the postseason and awaits the winner of the Eastern Conference Finals, where the Atlanta Dream leads the New York Liberty 1-0. Game 1 of the WNBA Finals will be played on Sunday at 12 noon with Game 2 on Tuesday at KeyArena. The Storm would also host Game 5, if necessary, on Tuesday, Sept. 21.
