Jewell Loyd scored a season-high 34 points, and the Seattle Storm held Caitlin Clark to just three points in the second half of an 89-77 win over the Fever.

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, and No. 5 Washington pitched a shut out in the second half to rally for a 35-28 win.

Pete Carroll cares about stats that accentuate two areas—ones that show his defense is playing well and ones that show his team is excelling late in games.

Walker later restored a two-score lead for Seattle (2-1) when he sprinted untouched on a 7-yard touchdown run with 11:40 remaining.

The dust is settling, but the sting is not.
