10 min in the books! 📚 It's 24-19 Storm ⛈️ https://t.co/T0Go0RX9lW

What happened: Seattle holds a 24-19 lead 10 minutes into its road matchup in Phoenix, according to the team. The game is in progress, with three quarters still to play.

Why it matters: An early edge would be a welcome sign for a Seattle side that has dropped its last nine games and entered the night searching for traction. A road lead against a Phoenix team that has also struggled recently could mark a turning point if it holds.

By the numbers: Seattle entered at 4-14 on the season (allowing 83.3 per game) and riding a nine-game losing streak, while Phoenix sat at 6-12 and had lost four straight. The teams' most recent meeting on June 3 went to Phoenix, 72-68.

What to watch: Watch whether Seattle can sustain its first-quarter scoring and protect the lead as Phoenix settles in at home.
