(AP) — Betty Lennox had an
other huge night, scoring 23
points to lead the Seattle Storm to
their first WNBA title with a 74-60
victory over the Connecticut Sun.
At the buzzer, the Storm play
ers raced to midcourt fora pileup
after the Oct. 13 game while yel
low and green confetti fell from
the rafters.
The Storm claimed the city's
first major professional sports
championship in 25 years, going
back to the SuperSonics winning
the 1979 NBA title. It also gave
Seattle coach Anne Donovan her
first WNBA crown, having missed
in 20 0 1 with Charlotte.
“It feels great to win a champi
onship,” Donovan said.
Donovan is the first female
coach to win a WNBA title, fol
lowing Houston's Van Chancel
lor (1997-2000), Los Angeles’
Michael Cooper (2001-02) and
Detroit's Bill Laimbeer(2OO3).
Lennox, who scored 27 in
Seattle's Game 2 victory that
evened the best-of-three series,
kept her momentum going in the
decisive third game. She couldn't
seem to miss in the second half.
Fans chanted. "Betty, Betty,
Betty” when Lennox stepped to
the free throw line with 2:35 re
maining. She made both shots
capping a 33-12 run that stretched
Seattle's lead to an insurmount
able 71-56.
