We Are Going To The FINALS!!!!!!!!

The Storm has finally made it back to the WNBA Finals! After not even making it out of the first round of the playoffs the last 5 years, the Storm defeated Phoenix on the road 91-88, on a fantastic Sue Bird 3-pointer to break the tie with 2.8 seconds left on the clock. The Storm were down by 19 points at one point in the game and we all were looking forward to a Game 3 back at KeyArena.

Instead, we are looking forward to Game 1 of the Finals either against New York or the Atlanta Dream. The Storm will get a long deserved rest since Game 1 of the Eastern Conference series doesn't start until tonight. The Storm pulled off an unbelievable comeback against a Phoenix squad that was hungry and ready to go for the win. Diana Taurasi was coming off an awful Game 1 and was looking to shoot from her very first touch. She nailed a three... but that's Diana. However, the Storm still played hard and gritty defense and was able to stop her from making the tying 3 pointer in the closing seconds that would have sent the game into overtime.

The Storm kept on chipping away at the deficit and was able to put them it a spot to win it. The Storm had to go through more than a large deficit to come back though, Lauren Jackson picked up her 4th fouled in the beginning of the 3rd, and sat almost all of the quarter! She came back in the 4th quarter with a new found strength and helped her team pull to a victory on the road. Swin Cash also shined. She was running the floor, playing defense, and everything else possible to help her team win. The bench was up and cheering and even some fans came from Seattle to cheer on the Storm!

I can't wait for the Finals to start! I know we now have the best team in the league and WILL win the Finals! Go Storm!
