Chicago Sky vs Seattle Storm Final Score & Over/Under Result — Aug 16, 2026

Chicago's visit to Seattle came after two high-scoring affairs between these teams this season—both totaling exactly 185 combined points—but this matchup told a different story. The Sky and Storm combined for just 162 points, well short of the 177.5 market total, as a late-game surge fell short of overcoming a sluggish middle two quarters. DAGGER's pregame lean to the under proved prescient, cashing with room to spare.

The first quarter exploded with 34 combined points, setting an early pace, before both teams tightened their grip in the second half. Chicago dominated the opening frame with 23 points to Seattle's 11, but the Storm answered in the second quarter to cut the halftime deficit to just four points (combined 75 at the break). The third quarter became a stalemate at 40 combined, and though the fourth erupted for 47 points—the game's highest-scoring quarter—it wasn't enough to push the total over the number. Chicago's Kamilla Cardoso led the way with 22 points and 12 rebounds, while Natasha Cloud added 20 points and 8 rebounds. Seattle countered with Dominique Malonga's 19 points and 13 boards and Ezi Magbegor's 17 points. Courtney Vandersloot's steady playmaking (15 points, 5 assists) kept Chicago's offense moving, but the teams' recent defensive form—each allowing in the low 90s over their last ten games—ultimately kept the scoring contained enough to land the under.
