SEATTLE (AP) -- Lauren Jackson had 16 points, 11 rebounds and
five blocks to lead the Seattle Storm past the Minnesota Lynx 68-65
Friday night.
Jackson's sixth straight double-double tied her with three other
players for the longest streak in WNBA history.
The Lynx (15-13) fell 1-1/2 games behind the Storm (16-11) for
third place in the Western Conference. The Lynx had won three
straight against the Storm.
Minnesota led most of the first half but went into the locker
room tied at 31 after Jackson's layup with 7.6 seconds remaining.
The Lynx opened the second half with a 10-4 run, and held
Seattle scoreless for nearly five minutes at one point. But the
Storm answered with an 11-2 spurt, taking a 53-50 lead.
Sue Bird scored 10 of her 14 points in the second half.
Katie Smith led the Lynx with 20 points, and Tamika Williams and
Janell Burse added 14 apiece.
Minnesota has won one of its last eight road games.
