Seattle Storm vs Connecticut Sun Final Score & Over/Under Result — May 10, 2026

Connecticut's defense tightened in the second half, but the damage was done in an explosive opening 48 minutes. Seattle's 29-point first quarter set the tone for a 89-82 road win, with the combined 53 points in Q1 alone signaling an over-the-total game from the jump. The first half's combined 93 points had already eclipsed much of the 164.5 market total, and though both teams cooled considerably in the second half—combining for just 78 points across the final two quarters—the early momentum proved decisive.

Lexie Brown led Seattle with 17 points, while Flau'jae Johnson added 16 points and 6 rebounds. Jade Melbourne orchestrated the Storm offense with 6 assists to go with 15 points. Connecticut leaned on Aneesah Morrow's 17 points and team-leading 16 rebounds, and Brittney Griner chipped in 16 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome the first-quarter deficit. The combined 171 final total cleared the 164.5 line by 6.5 points, cashing the over. DAGGER had leaned under pregame and missed the call—a rare instance where the storm of opening minutes overpowered what Seattle's recent 81.4-point-per-game average and Connecticut's defensive form (89.2 allowed per game) might have suggested.
